Alsa-sound-mini-HOWTO: Before you startThis document tries to help you install and use the ALSA sound driversin your Linux system. The reference system is a Slackware 4.0 distributionof Linux on an AMD/K6 computer (x86 compatible), but it should work withany other Linux distribution. I do not know if the ALSA drivers work onother platforms, according to the documentation, Alpha has been tested and proven to work.I have only x86 PC's here, so any additional information you may have would be appreciated.It might be handy to read the LinuxSound HOWTO (see section Other HOWTO's), but that HOWTO focuses on the built-in kernel drivers.The ALSA sound driver was originally written as a replacement for the Linuxkernel sound for Gravis UltraSound (GUS) cards. As this GUS replacement proved to be a success,the author started the ALSA project for a genericdriver for several sound chips, with fully modularized design.It is compatible with the OSS/Free and OSS/Linux sound drivers (the drivers in the kernel),but has its own interface that is even better than the OSS drivers. A listof features can be found atPlease note that the ALSA drivers are still under development.

Things may change over time, and some programs thatrely on ALSA only work under specific versions of it. Apart from that: I think they're great.
