Umm, "S!" does _not_ mean "Shit!" or something else, this is just my
method of "signing" my emails.

I know, I am using latest ALSA with Debian unstable, works very well.

I just wanted to point out, that it is planned to replace OSS with ALSA
in the 2.5/2.6 kernel series (but as far as I can see, this may be only
an announcement with nothing happening, as it was for 2.3/2.4).

And I wanted to know, how the mplayer developers judge the status of
ALSA, is it just as broken as OSS or would this be the solution to many
problems users are experiencing.
