Yes yes yes. Sound play should be
- raw sound card driver (OSS, ALSA), which would be good enough for 90% of the
cases, since most cards come with an internal mixer and support multiple
opening of their /dev/dsp
- some other software backend just for the sake of it
Forget features like network transparency, sound effects (and plugins in
general), and real-time playing. These are all either useless in practice or
not worth the hassle.
