ALSA is low-level, provides direct access to the hardware, is difficult

JACK is high-level, provides a simple yet efficient way to program, but
it's not commonly used (outside specialised Linux-based multimedia
systems).

arts will become obsolete in a not so distant future.

Here's a nice tutorial:
