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.
