    SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] sound: make OSS device number claiming optional

    The interface expected is the sound_register_* interface and the sharing
    is likewise expected so you could for example mix OSS. CUSE and ALSA oss
    emulation drivers on the same system at the same time.

    Rewriting sound_register* in terms of minor number allocations using the
    fact modern kernels have better allocators for devices would also be
    preferable to the weird module hacks initially proposed. I guess a
    starting point would be to tweak soundcore to generate both message sets
    itself for a year and then pull the old stuff out.
