Description

Emulates OSS audio devices using CUSE. It helps older applications that expect the legacy Open Sound System interface work on systems that use newer Linux audio stacks.

Use it only when a program specifically needs OSS device compatibility. It runs a background compatibility layer, so audio routing and permissions should be checked if sound behaves unexpectedly.
