NAME
ossaudio —
OSS audio emulation
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

of the OSS (Linux) audio interface.

SEE ALSO
HISTORY
The ossaudio library first appeared in
NetBSD 1.3.
BUGS
The emulation uses a #define for ioctl()
so some obscure programs can fail to compile.
The emulation is incomplete.
The emulation only covers ioctl(), there
are other differences as well. E.g., on a write that would block in
non-blocking mode Linux returns EINTR whereas
OpenBSD returns EAGAIN.
