I think you need to dig a bit more into the code itself to see what are 
the actual differences before I can say if your idea is good or not. I'm 
sorry, but I don't know opensound's code well enough to comment further 
on this.

What are those features exactly? Why can't they be implemented in 
FreeBSD's sound stack?

I believe this has been discussed before and maybe there are more 
threads around which will answer your question.

OK, I see the source code is available and that "audio/oss" is compiled 
from source.
