5<para>The first question which people tend to ask about ALSA is why they
6should use it over the sound drivers included in the kernel - there are
7several reasons. Firstly, the ALSA drivers support more sound cards
8than those in the kernel. Secondly, the OSS emulation is in some cases
9faster and better than the original OSS driver itself. And finally, there are
10some programs which can use ALSA's enhanced features to better drive the
11soundcard.</para>
12
13<para>ALSA is also likely to be the future of Linux Sound (hence the
14name <emphasis>Advanced Linux Sound Architecture</emphasis>), and the
15ALSA drivers will probably be included into the main linux kernel at
16some point during the 2.5 development series, leading eventually to ALSA
17being the "standard" sound drivers into the future 2.6 stable
18kernel.</para>

20<para>The following five sections of the book deal with the five seperate
21components of alsa: the drivers, the libraries, the utilities, the tools and
22the OSS compatibility libraries.</para>
