Sascha has already pointed at ALSA vs. OSS. I'd like to add that if you 
want to have cross platform portability (Linux/FreeBSD/OS 
X/Solaris/Windows) then you should take a look at PortAudio: 
http://www.portaudio.com/. Alas, AFAIK there's no complete ALSA driver 
for PortAudio yet, only an OSS driver, but they are working on it.
