I found liboss in the ports and checked out the home page http:// liboss.sourceforge.net/ . Is this project dead? From the home page I can get to OSS, which released the source under a BSD license. Is this new (the press release is dated January 4, 2008)? Has it been under a different license?
What is the community feeling towards alsa and oss? How compatible are they? How incompatible?
I have tried to compile asla on darwin/os X, no success.
You'll have to ask the developers of liboss whether it's dead or not. I hadn't heard of liboss or oss until you mentioned them, and I hadn't heard of alsa until I saw it in the dependencies of icedtea when you brought up that you were trying to compile icedtea.
