Hello, I'm new to ALSA; anyway I read that one of the main goals for this driver
was to be OSS/Lite compatible. Which it happens to be at least with the PCM
(/dev/dsp) and the mixer.

The problem I found (version 0.1.4) was that /dev/sndstat does not apear
to be compatible with the OSS driver; if I cat this device I will only get
this line :

Sound driver - compatibility text for gmod : 3.5

There are some programs like multitrack wich get your system sound
configuration from /dev/sndstat; I was thinking of writing a patch for this
driver as to get OSS /dev/sndstat compatibility, but first I wanted to
ask you (developers) what do you think about this.
