Is it planned to support OSS? Many programs use it, and that's native

The OSS suites are Linux kernel modules. (And why OSS when there's ALSA?)
Windows has its own sound API and I don't think OSS could be ported to
windows.
Why not? OSS is actually just a bunch of ioctls.
You can. In theory.
However, for all practical intents and purposes, that means that one will
have to rewrite all the sound-card drivers from Linux to Windows.
If there is something in ALSA or OSS that I'd like ported to Cygwin, it
would perhaps be the MIDI sequencer and systhesizer interfaces rather than
the PCM or Sound card interfaces.
