Sorry for hijacking the thread, but it is very true. ALSA is just too
flexible so that the ALSA equivalent (if it indeed exists) of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339951 cannot be fixed.
OSS allows specification of device name, and one can set up udev rules
so that e.g. /dev/dsp-creative it is always a symlink to a SB PCI sound
card and /dev/dsp-fortemedia is for FM801. Then one can tell xine to
play sound through /dev/dsp-fortemedia. ALSA accepts only numbers in its
plughw:x,y,z notation, and applications are unfixable when kernel device
numbers become random.
