AFAIK there's no such thing on Linux. The openosund developers had a  
fake libalsa, but it was just a minimal one, and they dont't really  
maintain it.

There was just some talk to get the OSS libalsa working... but only  
talk, no code. So just assume there's nothing.

There's a flash9 add-on which uses OSS instead of ALSA  
(libflashsupport.so in the linux-flashplugin9 port). It should work.  
If not someone should have a look at what's going on there.

Bye,
Alexander.
