But some applications are still not able to use ALSA natively, for that
reason there is the OSS emulation in ALSA. To be seen i.e. when doing
/sbin/lsmod by the list of OSS compatibility modules. Within
applications you sometimes can choose which sound system is used, for
instance can be done within the xmms settings or mplayer.
