I hope I'm answering the right question here, but I recall that the alsa oss layer will permit multiple opens of the /dev/dsp device, if the underlying hardare supports it. I also asked on #lad to verify this. The alsa software mixer wont be available to oss devices, though. This is also consistent with what I experience with my hardware. - on my laptop, with sad audio hardware, I always have to kill esd or artsd in order to work with music applications, since these use jackd. - on my workstation with a somewhat better audi card, this isnt necessary because the audio daemons just use another hardware channel than the music audio daemon jackd. I hope I didnt add to the confusion. -- Joakim Verona http://www.verona.se
