Why is that easier? We would have to chane all the applications to use
the ALSA sequencer API. Wouldn't it be cleaner and simpler to provide
a thin layer emulator between the OSS sequencer and the ALSA
sequencer?

Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about here. ;-) I defer to your
judgment on this.
