I'm not sure what you mean - are you talking about OSS vs. ALSA ? Fedore
Core 5 supports OSS using the OSS-ALSA emulation layer which works fine
for me. More then that - Fedora Core 5 supports dmix/dsnoop out of the
box, and works very well on all systems I installed it on (several
desktop and a couple of laptops, ranging from
brand-new-haven't-gotten-the-plastic-off-yet to
old-enough-that-I'm-not-sure-it-runs-windows-98). Funny though - dmix
works well on the OSS emulation layer, but for apps that directly
support ALSA there apparently supposed to be some extra configuration
which I haven't gotten down pat yet, so apps that do ALSA directly can't
share audio output while all apps that think they are using OSS work
flawlessly. funny.
