With this plugin, +ALSA native apps can run on OSS drivers. + +This plugin provides the PCM type "oss". The typical configuration +looks like below: + + pcm.oss { + type oss + device /dev/dsp + } + +Put the above to ~/.asoundrc (or /etc/asound.conf), and use "oss" PCM +with your ALSA apps. For example, + + % aplay -Doss foo.wav + +For playing arbitrary formats, you should use "plug" layer together, + + % aplay -Dplug:oss foo.wav + +The oss plugin can have an option: device. This specifies the device +file path of OSS to open. If not given, /dev/dsp is used. + +The function supported by this plugin is limited. For example, you +cannot use dmix together with this plugin. Don't expect too much :) + +The plugin is installed in /usr/lib/alsa-lib directory as default, +which is the default search path of additional plugins for alsa-lib. +On a 64bit system like x86-64, the proper prefix option (typically, +--prefix=/usr/lib64) must be given to configure script. -- cgit
