Re: [Liboss-devel] osscat

yes i meant kext, though I didn't want to go that route.  I'd rather just
a lib but a daemon migh tbe needed, though I guess to stay in the OSX
spirit a kext would be that choice, just trying to get an offical feel for
the direction here i guess.

Immediate would be good, an esd wrapper for a 0.1 release i think would be
good.  Then we can port it to core audio for a v1 release.

I looked at alsa a while back and it looks fairly hard to port.  But if
there is one thing i learnt from fink is nothing is fully impossible,
thought with esd and oss I doubt we'll even have the need for alsa.
