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