Definitely a case of crossed wires, I think (:-)). I was trying to
respond to Scott's query about the state of opensound, but I guess I came
off a bit more negative than I intended. Maybe a bit conditioned by the
many months I spent trying to get (real-time) audio to work on my auich
desktop box [#7285]. (:-/) Before your mail, I had no idea how OSS was
organized, and was not really inspired to find out. With your pointers
it may be easier.

Will do.

You're probably right. I assumed the file was in the source tree for
a reason, but maybe the defaults were *supposed* to be the same, but
got changed for the same reason that OSS has the giant buffer.
Which brings up the secondary question of why a large buffer prevents
sound working anyway.
Thanks for checking the other patches, too.
