Apparently, aoss does not support libc's fopen() function calls. So all OSS apps that use the sound devices by calling fopen() won't work with aoss. (ref http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=aoss). There is a patch (http://www.affenbande.org/~tapas/alsa-oss-fopen.patch) which will add "fopen" support. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 34355 [details, diff] Patch to alsa-oss-1.0.5 ebuild Patch to ebuild to include fopen patch
Created attachment 34356 [details, diff] The "fopen" patch from http://www.affenbande.org/~tapas/alsa-oss-fopen.patch Here is the original "fopen" patch from http://www.affenbande.org/~tapas/alsa-oss-fopen.patch
This patch should be sent upstream as well if it hasn't been already.
*bump* any work done on this?
I'll take a looksee...
this was integrated into mainline upstream
