> Doesn't the oss4 plugin work with oss2 drivers?

It doesn't, on purpose (it checks the version and will error out for older
drivers and even old oss4 drivers). It uses the new oss4 API for a number of
things like device selection/discovery and the mixer stuff (completely new api
here).


> Do we need two copies of the plugin?

It's probably possible to combine the two plugins, but I think it's
undesirable. I'd rather keep them separate. Makes for cleaner and more
maintainable and more debuggable code.


I have no objections to the OSS4 plugin being moved to good; I guess it's as
good as it's going to get given the API (but I would say that), so there's no
reason not to let it be in good company with the esd plugin and the old oss
plugin.
