padsp only emulates /dev/dsp

Description

It seems that padsp will only emulate /dev/dsp and not /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2, etc.

It would be nice to be able to support different outputs from (broken) applications like Skype where I would like to have ringing to use one device (speakers) and conversations to be on a different device (headset).

Using the OSS version of Skype, it allows for choosing different (OSS) devices for the different functions (Sound In, Sound Out, and Ringing), but only /dev/dsp is redirected to PulseAudio using padsp.

If the only use case for this is Skype, then use a newer version as that supports PA reasonably well.

Please reopen if you still need this functionality.

Also emulating OSS devices is much better handled by osspd these days, so I do not think we will ever address this fully and may even deprecated padsp eventually.
