Re: [orca-list] sound on feisty

It's my understanding that the problem will persist so long as any audio
output is directed at oss, whether or not it's native oss or alsa's oss
emmulator. If for no other reason speech-dispatcher is laudable for
working to gett oss out of our hair. We desparately need that oss
dependency out of our lives, as I've previously ranted on this list and
in many other venues.

PS: The alsa software mixer is called dmix, not at all well documented
unfortunately. However, I believe all major Linux distributions should
come with alsa reasonably configured to use dmix during installation.
