# audiooss(1x)

run OSS programs under NAS

## NAME

audiooss — run OSS programs under NAS

## SYNOPSIS

**audiooss** \[*program*\]  \[**options**\]

## DESCRIPTION

**audiooss** is a compatibility utility  that allows programs written for the popular Open Sound System  (OSS) interface to run using the Network Audio System (NAS)  instead. It works by preloading a library to intercept and  manipulate critical system calls such as  **open()**, **read()**, and  **write()**.  The emulation is not yet complete,  but it already works for many programs.

## OPTIONS

**audiooss** itself has no options;  all specifed options are passed on to  *program*.

## SEE ALSO

nas(1), /usr/share/doc/audiooss/\*
