alsa's oss emulation modules should get auto loaded when using an oss app.

check with:
Code: [Select]
lsmod|grep oss

audioucious and mplayer is working if I run them via "aoss appname". But it is quite annoying to type that every time. :(
vlc is working normally. But that is a huge app. :(
What is difference betwee vlc and vlc-full?

You could try to manually modprobe the snd*oss modules, but not so sure that would be a good idea.
I'd always prefer aoss because it gets around apps blocking the soundcard  by exclusivity.

Alternatively you could try OSS instead of alsa and see if it fits your needs better.

I thought that too. But not now. Will try that later.

Is it possible to edit some file of wbar so that, when I click "Audacious" icon on wbar, it will execute "aoss audacious"?

You could try to start the whole session under aoss (prefix the DESKTOP line in .xsession).
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Haha, interesting concept, why did I never think about that?   ;D

Wondering if there could be any chance of overhead though

Did a test as follows:
Code: [Select]
killall jwm
aoss jwm &

Then in 2 separate aterms running mplayer on 2 different .mp3's:
Code: [Select]
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
DVB card number must be between 1 and 4
appears in second one   :'(

Starting multiple mplayer instances with "aoss" prefix prevents blocking.

Just to be sure, those aterms were started from jwm and not some other way?

Good catch, actually they were started from rox ("Terminal Here"), so I repeated the experiment with starting aterms from jwm, but result is same.
