Duplex Streams
==============
Note that when attempting to use a single device file for playback and
capture, the OSS API provides no way to set the format, sample rate or
number of channels different in each direction. Thus
io_handle = open("device", O_RDWR)
will only function correctly if the values are the same in each direction.
To use different values in the two directions, use both
input_handle = open("device", O_RDONLY)
output_handle = open("device", O_WRONLY)
and set the values for the corresponding handle.
Unsupported Features
