Cool. How do I go about figuring out what every app uses? For example,
you mentioned that the flash 9 plugin, which I also use, is an ALSA
aware application. How do you know? I need the check out everything that
I use which needs sound (vmware, skype, kmplayer, etc.) I don't have
source code for at least two of those.
Go into the sound preferences menu of the app and check which device
it uses. If it's something like /dev/dsp or /dev/audio it's using
OSS. If it looks like "default" or "hw:0" it's ALSA.
If your app does not have any sound preferences menu it's broken and
you should file a bug report.
You can determine whether an app with no configurable sound device is
using ALSA by running "strace broken_app" and grep the output for
"/dev/dsp" or "/dev/audio".
