The devel version of ossp (not out yet, waiting for CUSE and mmap
support merge) can do all the quakes (even the dreaded quake1 which
even ALSA OSS emulation or native OSS can't do because of strict
sample/freq requirement which modern devices don't support anymore)
and skype-static-oss are working fine. The latency is still a tad bit
high due to PA interaction but everything is mostly in place. I'm
fairly sure UT would work too. Do you know where I can get a demo of
it?

Thanks.
