Hello,

 At present I am developing a sequencer/notation program which
uses the OSS /dev/sequencer interface.

 I do not want to loss my OSS /dev/sequencer capabilities, but I would
like to play with the work beeing done on the kernel-kernel
communication  and kernel-userland communication.

<LOW LEVEL KENEL IGNORANCE MODE ON>
 Is there a kernel guru that could tell me if it is possible for
me to to still have the OSS /dev/sequencer in the kernel with
the new alsa stuff ? The alsa README says I should remove the OSS
stuff from the kernel :-(
<OFF>

 I guess I could live with having 2 kernels to boot but ideally
it would be nice to see if I can drive the OSS stuff via a alsa kernel
module.


 cheers Paul.
