Title:          OSS.tcz
Description:    Open Sound System 4.1 for 2.6.29.1-tinycore
Version:        build 1052
Author:         4Front Technologies
Original-site:  http://www.opensound.com

Size:      1.7M
Extension_by:   Curaga
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

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.

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

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.

Hmm, sure. More choice.

OSS deps moved to this extension.

      running ALSA apps on top of OSS.

Updated OSS of both 2.x and 3.x with a small bugfix, making usr/lib/oss/etc writable.
