Summary:                    artsd-like style
Description: 
i'd like to know if that's a roadmap to let alsa drivers have a artsd (or
windows) style, i mean, multiple streams at once.

that could be very important for example using skype voip and listening
music at the same time.

Well, it's not a bug-for-bug compatible emulation.  There are always areas
in any API that are ambiguous or implementation dependent.  The fact that
it works with another OSS implementation does not rule out an application
bug.

Most of the cases we have seen so far where aoss breaks something involve
buggy apps, that just happen to work with OSS or the in kernel emulation. 
They are just as likely to fail under a different OSS implementation.  For
example skype assumes it gets 48KHz stereo, even though the stream is
mono.  Although this particular case is due to a quirk of dmix, it would
also fail if the hardware only supported 48Khz mono.  They just didn't
bother to test it under an OSS implementation where this can happen.

That being said, after looking at the code a bit this is almost certainly a
dmix bug.

It would be nice to know what all those ioctls are.  Any idea why strace
can't resolve them?
