Comments: This is a really awesome application that does many
      different things I think the Core community will benefit
      from :)

      Sound will be configured automatically when you load the
      extension. However if you wish to see the messages, the
      command is "sudo soundon".
-
      The optional GUI mixer (ossxmix.tcz) depends on GTK2;
      the command-line mixer, ossmix, works in all systems.
-
      All apps coming with OSS4 included, some of them:
      ossplay      Wave player
      ossrecord   Wave recorder
      ossmix      Console mixer
      osstest      A sound test
      ossinfo      Displays information about your sound
-
      Detected hardware and saved volume settings are in
      /usr/lib/oss/etc, so you might want to add that to your
      backup.
-
      Note: to compile apps that use OSS, no need to have OSS
      loaded. The header file is in compiletc.
Change-log: 2008/07/06 Original for 2.6.24.7-dsl
      2008/07/23 Updated for 2.6.26-tinycore, added menu items
      2008/07/27 Updated menu items for the new /tmp/tcz.menu
      2008/10/10 Updated menu items to JWM format
2009/04/11 Update to 4.1 for 2.6.29.1-tinycore, gtk2 mixer
      2009/12/17 Updated startup script to handle non-standard module location
Current: 2010/01/25 Added /etc/asound.conf, separated gtk2 mixer
--- End quote ---

Adding this conf file means that with OSS, libasound, and alsa plugins loaded, native alsa apps will work on top of OSS. There isn't an extension for alsa-plugins yet though.

Change-log:
Current: 2010/01/25 Separated gtk2 mixer from OSS.tcz

curaga:
OSS dep file updated. If you now run OSS, pure alsa apps will run on top of it as well.

maro:
I might be missing the point here, but wouldn't it make sense to create a meta-extension (e.g. "OSS_alsa-compatible") which contains these three dependencies (plus OSS of course) instead of forcing those dependencies now onto all users of the OSS extension.

curaga:
Hmm, sure. More choice.

OSS deps moved to this extension.

running ALSA apps on top of OSS.
