-libOSS 0.0.1 - This well be an OSS bridge to APPLE's CoreAudio API for
-Darwin PowerPC under Apple's OS X.
+==============================================================================
+LIBOSS
+==============================================================================
+
+LibOSS is a compatibility layer for MacOS X that eases porting software that
+uses Linux's OSS API.
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+About This Release
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is our initial release, and as such, is a bit spartan.  The goal for
+0.0.1 was to be able to get audio from aRts (the audio API used by the KDE
+desktop environment).  This initial reference release has been built to talk
+through esound, a sound server for UNIX-like systems that has native
+CoreAudio support.
+
+Future releases will be geared towards cleaning up the code and adding
+CoreAudio and perhaps even pure Darwin audio support.
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Installing LibOSS
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The standard "./configure; make; make install" should work fine if you have
+esound and libdl (dlcompat) somewhere accessible.
+
+If you don't, see the following:

+ http://www.tux.org/~ricdude/EsounD.html

+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Using And Developing With LibOSS
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In theory, software that can build against Linux's OSS API should work just
+fine, but you may need to do some tweaking to make it work.  LibOSS has to
+do some trickery with defines to override your system's open(), write(), and
+so on.  In the future we plan on providing a pkgconfig setup for liboss that
+will automate some of this work, but for now, if you have questions, try
+the IRC channel, or send a message to the discussion list.
