You're probably right about aoss not having a chance at working. alsa-oss not only has aoss though, it does have kernel modules that you can load in order to create a /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer, from what I've seen anything that doesn't work with aoss will work with these modules. The only disadvantage is that an alsa application can keep /dev/dsp blocked for some reason (I had it happen with plugin-container). That can obviously be solved by killing the program, which can be painful. Most alsa programs don't seem to do it though.

Yes, the ideal variand would be for alsa to enable it's own "native" oss emulation, but for whatever reason ubuntu developer disabled oss support completely -- one would need to compile cutom kernel in order to enable it. So the only viable solution i could find is the one with osspd userspace emulation. This, albei being not very straight-forward, potentially solves the problem with multiple programs accessing audio.

hey, gurus, what do you think about Generating Sine Tables from Parabolas?
any vise versa appreciated)

If you have no multiplication, this method is very good.

multiplication are easy to implement on some CPU's.
some algo can reduce sinus table.

i think its a good method. of course 6% off, but who would notice? also, its based on a really simple physics formula.
sorry in advance for being lame, but is iXalance capable of 256B ?
what is iXalance?
Google is your friend: "iXalance is a demo loading program written by The Black Lotus demo group, and then ported to Linux and SDL by Jarno Paananen. The program loads fantastic demos written by TBL and allows them to display graphics and play music."
@bizun
so it seems it's of no use to you, unless you're a member of TBL..

well, look at the prods of Digimind and 3SC. do they need 3d?)))))))))))

The source is available, I guess you can find enough about it through that. Anyway, it seems to load DOS executables, so you would at least have to add support for a simpler binary format. Or just roll your own thing.
