IMHO this makes the documentation a bit unclear, based on this I'd expect "-ao oss:mixer-device=/dev/mixer:dsp-device=/dev/dsp" to work...
Before my change, after my change or either way? Hmm, I'm not going to claim that the current description is perfect, but I don't see the problem you describe. Other output drivers are documented in the same way and where option=<value> syntax is expected, this is written explicitly. I was also hoping that the <> would make clear that it should be replaced by a concrete value... Diego
