ALSA is the linux audio professional's choice. OK, seriously: ALSA is much more than just a driver for your soundcard. It is an development architecture (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) with these goals: 1.Create a fully modularized sound driver which supports kerneld and kmod. 2.Create the ALSA Kernel API which surpasses the current OSS API. 3.Maintain compatibility with most OSS/Lite binaries. 4.Create the ALSA Library (C, C++), which simplifies ALSA application development. 5.Create the ALSA Manager, an interactive configuration program for the driver.
