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?

FreeBSD native driver works because it is done as in "FreeBSD way" of doing it.
