    When I was sort of an audiophile, my first steps were to switch from ALSA to OSS under Linux. I still think I heard the difference for music, and probably yes - because that was OSS without mixing.

    And I still think I hear the difference between FreeBSD newpcm and Linux sound stack. newpcm’s mixing is simpler (firefox starting, opening a sound device and music volume sharply dropping in half is not nice), but it seems to spoil the sounds less.
