ALSA is in and has advanced extensible APIs. Full OSS supports loads of more devices.

What we can hope for is select few ALSA developers devouring the opensourced drivers and writing out ALSA drivers for the devices.

I thought the low-latency softwares were already pushed to user-space? Like jackd. Also I recall seeing dmix (=ALSA software mixer) but I have no idea of its latency.

It also lacks a low-latency software mixer.

OSS is much better in almost every aspect IMO.
