(Get the code!)
I have tried OSS4 !
Does not solve the problem at all !!!
1. XawTV and V4L doesn't work with OSS4 (I don't know why, I think something is broken somewhere or an API change I don't know ...)
2. All Alsa Apps works like Crap with OSS4
3. Audacity don't work at all (OSS or ALSA mode)
There is no other solution ! Turn ON this ALSA OSS emulation ! It's not like it will hurt someone or something !
ALSA OSS is a compatibility layer, not a full set of driver like OSS4 or OSS3 (built in linux kernel and depreciated). It produce no conflict at all !
Is it not obvious that it is just stupid to remove OSS compatibility ? In the case that we don't use it, activating or deactivating OSS compatibility serve no purpose. In the case that you actually use it and no other solution exist to make what you want, you make Ubuntu painful to use to a lot of peoples around the world !
I speak for french community here, In our forum, we have a significant amount of people who are also horribly worried about the future of Ubuntu !
I will be totally honest with you ... If this issue is not closed with Ubuntu 11.04, I will consider to use another linux distribution ... And it hurts me inside. I have contributed a lot to many ways for many years to spread the word about Ubuntu, I have contributed on the translation, contributing to the Ubuntu-fr Wiki. I feel like raped ... Or like everything have no sense in this world ...
