 ALSA driver - Development branch
Section: Unix

 

Added: Mon, May 25th 1998 02:56 UTC (10 years, 6 months ago) Updated: Thu, Nov 13th 2008 11:52 UTC (21 days ago)


About:
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.

[»] ChangeLog link, please?
by Florin Andrei - Feb 4th 2003 12:06:51

It would be nice if the project would have a ChangeLog accessible without downloading the tarball. This way people can sync up with the latest additions in a very simple and quick fashion. IMO, this is a must-have for any open source project.

[»] ALSA is very good.
by schmoko - Jul 25th 1999 23:04:38

I've been using ALSA for several months, and my experience has been very good. The sound quality is MUCH higher on my OPL3-SAx than it was with the OSS drivers, and it was in fact easier for me to install. I've reccomneded ALSA to several people since then, and they've all preferred it to OSS as well.
Ignore the naysayers here, ALSA is a very good thing and you should give it a try.

[»] Alsa is great.
by FiRe HaWK - Jul 24th 1999 20:01:53

I love ALSA. Easily set up, easily configured, and great program. I have an AWE 64 sound card which works wonderfully with it, and a ViBRA 16 which doesn't, but I am not surprised, as even OSS is capable of getting it working in 8 bit. Creative seems to have a problem giving the specs on the Vibra. (It uses 2 8-bit DMAs for 16-bit sound.) Anyway, ALSA is great, if you can't get it working, then just stick with OSS, or read the manuals, cuz you don't know what you're missing.
