From information posed on the OpenSolaris discussion boards 4Front Technologies plan to offer the source code of OSS v4 under both the CDDL and GPLv2 licenses. "The rumors are true, we're planning on open sourcing Open Sound (on June 14th). We will be offering the source code under CDDL to Solaris and GPLv2 for Linux BSD, OpenServer etc."

OSS4 is capable of the same thing. Fear not. It has a virtual mixer.

Yes, sure, _except_ that it doesn't work *that* way in FreeBSD and _FreeBSD_ only. 4front acknowledge this issues but so far little has been done, requiring you to point different sound apps to different dsp*.

Are you sure you're talking about OSS4?

Nonetheless, it will be open source soon, so I'm sure someone will fix it if they can't figure it out.

Let's not be bitter about such great news, shall we?
