If so, is there a particular reason that it doesn’t work?

I’m of the view that no matter how many CPU cycles you have to spare, the fewer you “waste” the better for the rest of the system. I’ll have to take a look at cmus.

I want to. Most of the Debian systems I run on these old, old computers crash horribly if I try to update beyond stable. I don’t see a package for oss4 in Debian except for in sid though, so it might be a while.

On the other hand, ConnochaetOS is in beta release; maybe I can get something hot-wired between that and the Arch versions. :|

Fairly interesting re OSS4

Even on a Pentium 3, I can still note a difference in CPU load playing a Vorbis file with MPlayer with the alsa and oss-emulation outputs.
