I don't recall when it was added, definately a while back, but the oldest machine I have (FreeBSD 4.2) has OSS/Free. From googling I get the impression that it's been there since 3.x, so 'recently' definately holds. Likewise, googling shows OpenBSD also uses OSS/Free -- the commercial OSS installation manual tells you to remove references to OSS/Free from the kernel :) And there's a boatload of supported platforms in the commercial OSS of course, see www.opensound.com. But I don't suggest we try and plug OSS :) > Anyone know precisely which 2.5.x version of Linux dropped OSS in favour > of ALSA? OSS wasn't dropped (not yet anyway), ALSA was added. Also, ALSA has an OSS emulation mode, so I think it's safe to say you need to 'have OSS or ALSA with OSS API emulation' enabled. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi!
