[alsa-devel] Making ALSA apps run on OSS driver
Hi
For my OMAP 2430 board, I have a working OSS driver , but all my audio/video applications are written for ALSA, since we had all ALSA drivers for previous board. Now I want to use the OSS driver as it is for 1 week and run my applications using it, I know this is not the best thing to do but currently I dont have time to write ALSA driver from scratch.
I have heard about OSS emulation in ALSA i.e. any read/write to /dev/dsp will go to my ALSA driver but is there any way to do the reverse i.e. apps using ALSA interface should somehow talk to OSS driver? What all changes I need to make and where?

The alsa-plugins package has the "oss" plugin for this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-plugins/raw-file/878b7784425c/doc/README-pcm...
