Hi Clemens,

You could compare http://manuals.opensound.com/devlists/Linux.html with ALSA's sound card matrix, but the latter tends to be out of date.

Yeah, that thing is oooooold. Hopefully the new wiki on't be too bad.

...

With the recent open sourcing of OSS, it would be nice to port code to ALSA for devices that are only currently covered by OSS.

AFAICS all devices supported by the open-source OSS are also supported by ALSA.

Ah, looks can be deceiving. Although both systems have 'geode' support, it seems that the OSS driver supports the CS5530 VSA2 and the SC1200.

Also, there's an open bug for the Neomagic 256 driver, which may have a solution hiding away in OSS somewhere (someone with the hardware is hopefully going to help me look into that). There's a couple of things right off the bat and I don't know ALSA very well at all compared to most of you. And yeah, I know this stuff isn't in great demand, but it'd be nice if people weren't able to say that OSS can do XYZ and ALSA can't.
