I'm sure that this will not lead to very quick results, but I
want to point out that ALSA is heavily modularized. The low
level card routines are separated and all the other layers share
common routines. So I could think that OS dependant parts are
isolated, too, and could get wrapped or substituted.
There should be a website at www.alsa.org if someone wants to
have a look at it. And maybe www.suse.cz has a link now that the
main author and originator works there. And finally
www.freshmeat.net holds copies.
