LOL:
"Some claim the drivers “sound better”. Not relevant."
Nope, not relevant at all.
"Stop developers from writing apps with the OSS API"
Yep, true cross-platform friendliness. Write for ALSA so that your app will work on Linux, BSDs, etc. Oh no, ALSA is Linux-only. First you blame MS for such tactics, but then you go and embrace them? If you write for OSS, your app will work on many Unices, not just Linux. So why use ALSA in the first place?
"ALSA wasn't really that different from OSS anyway"
Then why reinvent the fucking wheel instead of fixing the one you have?
Oh, and didn't anyone notice that the PDF comes up with the shortcomings of OSS that only exist in the ancient in-kernel version and don't exist in the modern implementation? How convenient, don't you think?
