Open Sound System
|
These versions are released only for use by developers of Open Sound System. They may have serious bugs or parts of the functionality may be missing.
The first oss-4.1test0-070612 version is identical with the oss-4.0-build1003 stable version. The only real difference is that MIDI support is enabled by default in the 4.1 one.
The oss-v4.0-buildNNNNrcM packages are preliminary snapshots for the next OSS-v4.0 "stable" builds. They have less features than the oss-v4.1 versions. These versions are "almost stable" but they have not been tested adequately yet.
In a production systems you should use the latest stable version instead.
