OSS was the Linux sound system before ALSA. I’m not sure if ESD replaced OSS or ran on top of it. I vaguely remember configuring this stuff for my 486/SoundBlaster in Slackware back in the early 2000s.
You’re right. I think ESD could run atop OSS and maybe even ALSA for a while. Not sure if it could operate without either. Those sure were interesting times.
