Even if you reject this argument, the bug is in ALSA's in-kernel OSS
emulation, not the emu10k1 driver.
As sound hardware gets dumber and cheaper, kernel OSS emulation will
become increasingly useless. The cheap onboard devices (and even mid
range stuff like the SBLive! 24 bit) require sample rate conversion,
mixing, and even volume control to be handled in software. ALSA's
in-kernel OSS emulation does not have these features and never will.
(I wish the authors of Skype, Flash, TeamSpeak, Enemy Territory, and
other proprietary OSS-only apps would understand this ;-)
