SubjectDoes OSS sound work in 2.6 or not?
I have several user machines I would like to convert to 2.6 because they 
run threaded applications and would be happier if I did. However, being
able to play forwarded wav files is also needed. I have been assurred by
several people in Email that it does, *without* converting the whole
machine from OSS to ALSA, but by running the ALSA+OSS emulation.

if this really works, could someone point me to a working example? I
have copied the Documentation/sound config for OSS, changing only the
sound card type, and it totally doesn't work. It looks like it plays but
it doesn't make any sound.

I know that if I convert to ALSA I have to use their mixer to turn up
the sound and disable mute, if all the people telling me they do it with
the OSS mixer and emulation are wrong, I'll just leave the machines on
2.4 until I get some time to waste.

I have read the docs I can find, this is a yes/no question, will OSS
work or not. I am not asking how to convert to ALSA, did that once, took
more time than the benefit justifies.
