| 5 | <para>The first question which people tend to ask about <acronym>ALSA</acronym>
|
|---|
| 6 | is why they should use it over the sound drivers included in the kernel - there
|
|---|
| 7 | are several reasons. First, the <acronym>ALSA</acronym> drivers support more
|
|---|
| 8 | sound cards than those in the kernel. Second, the <acronym>OSS</acronym>
|
|---|
| 9 | emulation is in some cases faster and better than the original <acronym>OSS
|
|---|
| 10 | </acronym> driver itself. And finally, there are some programs which can use
|
|---|
| 11 | <acronym>ALSA</acronym>'s enhanced features to better drive the soundcard.

| 14 | <para><acronym>ALSA</acronym> is also the future of Linux Sound (hence the
|

| 15 | name <emphasis>Advanced Linux Sound Architecture</emphasis>), the <acronym>ALSA</acronym>
|
|---|
| 16 | drivers were included into the main linux kernel during the 2.5 development series,
|

| 17 | and they are now the "standard" sound drivers in the 2.6 stable kernel.</para>
