Sorry for this late respond

Is sound/oss/emu10k1/ really ready to be replaced? According to a friend of mine, who got the hardware, the ALSA still lacks feature provided by the OSS-driver. He mentioned some sort of programmable memory (forgot the name for that) with whom you can run small programs to manipulate the sounds (adding echo and such). Also, he got problems with getting more accurate control of the volume (guess this is more a userland issue).
He seems to have done his homework but only got to pages where other peoples had the same problem.

Current number of regressions in the ALSA emu10k1 driver people gave me numbers of open ALSA bugs for:
0
Oh ok, I will let him know that. Thanks
