| 16 | <para>The first question which people tend to ask about <acronym>ALSA</acronym>
|
|---|
| 17 | is why they should use it over the sound drivers included in the kernel—there
|
|---|
| 18 | are several reasons. First, the <acronym>ALSA</acronym> drivers support more
|
|---|
| 19 | sound cards than those in the kernel. Second, the <acronym>OSS</acronym>
|
|---|
| 20 | emulation is in some cases faster and better than the original <acronym>OSS
|
|---|
| 21 | </acronym> driver itself. And finally, there are some programs which can use
|
|---|
| 22 | <acronym>ALSA</acronym>'s enhanced features to better drive the sound card.

| 25 | <para><acronym>ALSA</acronym> is also the future of Linux Sound (hence the
|
|---|
| 26 | name <emphasis>Advanced Linux Sound Architecture</emphasis>). The <acronym>ALSA</acronym>
|
|---|
| 27 | drivers were included into the main Linux kernel during the 2.5 development series,
|
|---|
| 28 | and they are now the "standard" sound drivers in the 2.6 stable kernel.</para>
