re204421d ra2b36355 16 16 <primary sortas="g-ALSA-Description">ALSA Description</primary></indexterm> 17 17 18 <para>The first question which people tend to ask about <acronym>ALSA</acronym> 19 is why they should use it over the sound drivers included in the 20 kernel—there are several reasons. First, the <acronym>ALSA</acronym> 21 drivers support more sound cards than those in the kernel. Second, the 22 <acronym>OSS</acronym> emulation is in some cases faster and better than the 23 original <acronym>OSS</acronym> driver itself. And finally, there are some 24 programs which can use <acronym>ALSA</acronym>'s enhanced features to better 25 drive the sound card.</para> 26 27 <para><acronym>ALSA</acronym> is also the future of Linux Sound (hence the 28 name <emphasis>Advanced Linux Sound Architecture</emphasis>). The 29 <acronym>ALSA</acronym> drivers were included into the main Linux kernel 30 during the 2.5 development series, and they are now the "standard" sound 31 drivers in the 2.6 stable kernel.</para> 32 33 <para>The following five sections of the book deal with the five separate 34 components of <acronym>ALSA</acronym>: the libraries, the utilities, the 35 tools, the firmware and the <acronym>OSS</acronym> compatibility 36 libraries.</para> 18 <para>The Linux kernel now provides ALSA support by default. However, 19 applications need to interface to that capability. The following five sections 20 of the book deal with the five separate components of <acronym>ALSA</acronym>: 21 the libraries, the utilities, the tools, the firmware and the 22 <acronym>OSS</acronym> compatibility libraries.</para> 37 23 38 24 </sect1>
