 Description: OSS Proxy Daemon: Userland OSS emulation
  OSS Proxy Daemon is a Linux userland OSS sound device (/dev/[a]dsp and
  /dev/mixer) implementation using CUSE. Currently it supports
  forwarding OSS sound streams to PulseAudio and ALSA.
+ .
+ Actually emulating the OSS devices makes for a more robust emulation compared
+ to OSS wrappers using LD_PRELOAD, like aoss and padsp. It also works better
+ when running foreign-architecture applications or using old libc versions for
+ compatibility reasons.
