OSS is the standard sound system for Unix still to this day though.
Everybody uses it, except Linux.
It's GPL by the way. I actually use it on my main PC ;-) On supported
sound cards, it works much better than ALSA. Not the version in the
kernel, of course, that one is deprecated. The newest version is v4 and
is only available out-of-kernel.
