Programmers use OSS and not ALSA because the OSS API is *much* easier to
use than the ALSA library mess.

Also, regarding libsydney, creating yet another wrapper library is not the
solution. If you try to fix the problem of having 3 competing parts by
adding another one, you end up with 4 competing parts and no solution.
