well it doesn't do software mixing for OSS because the OSS emulation is in kernel and software mixing is userspace... plus software mixing can be borked by stupid apps doing things they really probably oughtn't (which they do anyway, 'cause it works for the guy who wrote the code...)

That doesn't mean software mixing can't be done for OSS. It just means they don't feel like doing software mixing for OSS. There's a variety of possible solutions.
