I read those articles and am quite interested that OSS is now GPL (or CDDL depending on your operating system) as noted here before

The key questions is whether anyone will care and if the trend toward ALSA will slow or stop.

Hannu's blog ( http://www.4front-tech.com/hannublog/) suggests that the version of OSS that is now in the kernal is not very good and in the 10 years since they closed it have really improved both the API and the quality of the code. Will OSS come back with the new API or continue to fade? I cannot comment on developer's preferences as I have not done any sound development, but if this means that OSS is no longer depreciated then I guess developers will vote with their code.
