The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI
|
||
|
|
functionality to the Linux operating system. ALSA has the following
|
||
|
|
significant features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Efficient support for all types of audio interfaces, from consumer sound
|
||
|
|
cards to professional multichannel audio interfaces.
|
||
|
|
* Fully modularized sound drivers.
|
||
|
|
* SMP and thread-safe design.
|
||
|
|
* User space library (alsa-lib) to simplify application programming and
|
||
|
|
provide higher level functionality.
|
||
|
|
* Support for the older Open Sound System (OSS) API, providing binary
|
||
|
|
compatibility for most OSS programs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package provides an OSS plugin for ALSA.
