dsproxy emulates an OSS device that "virtualizes" itself so each UID that opens /dev/dsp gets its own private sound device. At this point, simultaneous reading of /dev/dsp by another process "samples" the data out of dsproxy. The tagged audio data and ioctls stream may be saved to disk locally as the example program does, retargeted over a network, pushed into an effects generator (3-D sound), etc. The virtualization feature is a stepping stone to adding sound to VNC on a per-desktop basis with each user appearing to have total control over /dev/dsp. Most OSS ioctls are implemented, so applications such as xmame and rvplayer7 may be retargeted through dsproxy.

I tried the same thing, to no avail. So i just branched the code, find my own version 0.2.17.2 here: scara.com/dsproxy/ (scara.com/dsproxy/)
If you like to merge your patch with that, i could host the resulting version.

I would like to contact someone involved with this project.
Could anyone with info as to who that is contact me.
I've made a patch and have no idea where to submit to as the email addresses listed are no longer active.
