look into alsa-lib. get the most 'fresh' code per cvs, cause there are
some changes to the current tarball. look into the different plugins. i
assume that you have also take a look in the alsa-core, how the api is
organized. maybe you can add a shared-access-plugin ;).
im not sure, but i think this will be really difficult, cause the alsa-api
has a kind of 'natural' lock- and blocking mechanism. means only one sound
stream could be sent to an available channel. the most easiest way would
be
to improve aserver, i think. i forget to mention that it is also possible
to use the plugins with the oss-emulation, you only have to call the
plugin 'dsp0' than it is usable by oss-apps too.
