Hi, i followed your link and althogh i'm not capable of speaking spanish
i did look at the "Arquitectura general" section and you dive right into
the different alsa-lib interfaces [seq, pcm and ctl]. I would suggest
first clearing up that alsa consists of three parts [i added a short
article to the wiki [alsatips - introduction]]:

the kernel modules - either compiled seperatly or part of the kernel
source

the alsa-lib - needs to be compiled seperatly in any case

userspace programs like aoss, alsamixer, aplay, etc...

After that an in depth discussion on what each part does could follow:

kernel modules: what do the alsa core modules do? which drivers are
available [link to the soundcard matrix]? Which special purpose modules
like virmidi are available and what do they do? what does all this
acore/seq, acore/oss, etc.. stuff do? OSS emu..

alsa-lib: The pcm plugins and .asoundrc and /etc/alsa.conf are part of
alsa lib. so discussion of dmix, dsnoop, multi, etc is done in this
section..  I woudl also like to know: Is this plugin interface available
for ctl's too? can i fake a pcm-control that really adjusts a pcm
plugin's volume [so that xmms doesn't alter my cards pcm volume but only
its own stream]...

userspace progs: which purpose does each of them have? example of usege,
etc...
