Description-en: OSS Proxy Daemon: Userland OSS emulation
OSS Proxy Daemon is a Linux userland OSS sound device (/dev/[a]dsp and
/dev/mixer) implementation using CUSE. Currently it supports
forwarding OSS sound streams to PulseAudio and ALSA.
.
Actually emulating the OSS devices makes for a more robust emulation compared
to OSS wrappers using LD_PRELOAD, like aoss and padsp. It also works better
when running foreign-architecture applications or using old libc versions for
compatibility reasons.
