since i dont need a generic solution, it would be very helpful to me to not use alsa-lib and just use the alsa modules the way that our current version of the player uses /dev/dsp from the alsa oss-compat kernel modules.
i'd like to open and playback to /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p and /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p directly if it's a reasonable thing to do.
The alsa-lib <-> kernel interface is intentionally undocumented. The only officially supported interface to ALSA is via alsa-lib.
Well, not completely intentional. But we _recommend_ alsa-lib as the primary accessor, and at least I have no interest in writing another accessor right now. The documentaion itself is always good ;)
