Is this not a too simple answer? How does fit the «Open Sound System»
into this picture?

What do you think I have done before I posted here? Just this!
But this does not provide the answer to my question.

No, it does not.

Maybe no one understood your question? I certainly did not.

Sound in Linux is a large and complex topic.  Right now, Ubuntu uses
PulseAudio to mix sound and mediate between applications and the sound
card.  Applications that want to directly use Alsa or OSS can
theoretically talk to PulseAudio instead; there are fewer bugs related
to this with each release of Ubuntu and PulseAudio.

Do you need to know more about anything specific?

commonplace by the time Newton used it, his one contribution being to
erase any sense that he himself might be a dwarf."

(I know yet what you wrote.)
Yes, I would like to get a definition of the term "sound system" (as it
is used in the GNU/Linux world).
