| The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several
parts. The first is a fully modularized sound driver which
supports module autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration,
and gives complete access to analog audio, digital audio,
control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and timer components of
audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured kernel-level
sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free
applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and
enhances the ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications
(client/server, plugins, PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM
metering, etc.), an interactive configuration program for the
driver, and some simple utilities for basic management. |
