Default Dom2 for linux... alsa support?

Hey fellas

Do you developers think it would be too hard to hack in support for alsa? From what I understand dom2 is developed using SDL (good choice =) -- adding alsa support should be easy enough. In fact, I'm surprised its not included by default really. Just about everyone uses alsa these days, I'm pretty sure all the non-debian distros install alsa drivers by default now. The kernel itself lists OSS as depreciated now... and a lot of soundcards in linux require the use of alsa's dmixer to play sounds from more then one application at once.

Maybe support in a patch? ... mabye for Dom3?

What do you think?

I'm on Debian unstable (Ubuntu 4.10). I'm quite happy that's SDL based, alot games which can be downloaded are based on SDL (Image, mixer, etc), just take a look at happypenguin.org. But I will not be in the way if they want to support alsa
