    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>

    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>
