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

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