I don't remember reading a discussion about this. Is there anyone who
made some research about OSSv4? I saw some good reviews and some folks
in fedoraforum are asking about it.
Can it be considered for RPMFusion? Practically, it replaces ALSA, or
maybe it can be thought as an alternative.

What's the problem of getting it in Fedora?

OSS has hardware drivers. It comes with bunch of kernel modules.

That would mean
backport of already present oss kernel modules or are
theses OSS kernel modules was removed previously and only the compat
layer was available ?
What is the "userland" needs for that ?
In my case (vlc), Iv'e disabled the oss support (along with v4l1) by F-11
I'm not against to have some experiments done externally from rpmfusion
(read: I would allow it a "tobedefined" rpmfusion-experimental), but
not if this mean recompilation of userland applications.

I think the latter, but I'm not very sure. I was wondering if anyone
here did some tests.

I disabled OSS in some of my packages too. But if OSSv4 works better
than ALSA for some users, it is worth considering. I guess we need to
do more research.

FWIW, I don't like the idea very much and it feel a lot like "wasting
time" and "confusing users" to me. But I if someone really wants to
package and maintain it I'm fine with it (but I'd be way more glad if we
wouldn't provide it).
If somebody wants to do something cool for Fedora in regards of sound
support I'd say: package the creative driver for the X-Fi. ;-)
