<para>The first question which people tend to ask about ALSA is why they
|
|
should use it over the sound drivers included in the kernel - there are
|
|
several reasons. Firstly, the ALSA drivers support more sound cards
|
|
than those in the kernel. Secondly, the OSS emulation is in some cases
|
|
faster and better than the original OSS driver itself. And finally, there are
|
|
some programs which can use ALSA's enhanced features to better drive the
|
|
soundcard.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>ALSA is also likely to be the future of Linux Sound (hence the
|
|
name <emphasis>Advanced Linux Sound Architecture</emphasis>), and the
|
|
ALSA drivers will probably be included into the main linux kernel at
|
|
some point during the 2.5 development series, leading eventually to ALSA
|
|
being the "standard" sound drivers into the future 2.6 stable
|
|
kernel.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The following five sections of the book deal with the five seperate
|
|
components of alsa: the drivers, the libraries, the utilities, the tools and
|
|
the OSS compatibility libraries.</para>
