Dev Mazumar of 4Front Tech wrote here some time ago they had/were working o=

OSS).

It's rather a question of making applications support !ALSA or at least som=
e=20
middleware. Inventing yet another API and replacing OSS with it will not=20
produce application support out of thin air (but instead would leave FreeBS=
D=20
without any application support at all).
