This cannot work with the in-kernel OSS emulation, because the softvol
(and dmix) plugins run in userspace.  The solution is to use aoss:

aoss ./foo-oss-app

There have been reports that this does not work with some apps, if so,
it's a bug in the alsa-lib OSS emulation, please let us know about it.
