And there is no environment variable to override this either? Did you try: strings `which mymusicplayer` One hackish way to get what you want is to: sysctl hw.snd.basename_clone=1 rm /dev/dsp0 touch /dev/dsp0.9 sysctl hw.snd.basename_clone=0 And create "dsp0" as a virtual_oss instance, routing all virtual_oss output to /dev/dsp0.9 instead. > Furthermore, since I installed virtual_oss all the audio devices have gone > from PulseAudio, which is a little odd.

OSSv4 has some limits how many FDs can be opened at the same time. You should check using ktrace, that it really closes this device. > > Can my goal be achieved with virtual_oss or would you suggest some other > tool? See top the the e-mail. --HPS
