Thanks, but that wasn't really what I wanted. I really do want a kernel
driver that plugs back to user-space. I realize that the preferred way
to do ALSA userspace drivers is to make a libasound plugin, but without
a kernel driver, I can't get OSS emulation (right?).

Should I take your reply as an indication that I'll have to write that
driver myself?

Thanks for your reply!
