[PD] oss not working full duplex

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

Looks like I need to change my OSS drivers. The only reason why I was 
going with OSS was because I heard there were latency issues with ALSA 
and Jmax. Does anyone know of such issues? I do need to be able to run 
both Jmax and PD so switching between drivers is not likely. 

I do have the commercial version of OSS. 

So the final Q is, can I do full duplex with ALSA/oss emulation of 
OSS/free, with very little latency in Jmax and PD?

Thanks everyone!
Ben
