Re: [linux-audio-dev] Re: Linux VERSUS OSS ???

For ALSA -------- Initial HOWTO's: http://www.suse.de/~mana/alsa090_howto.html http://equalarea.com/paul/alsa-audio.html Reference manual for the PCM API: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm.html#pcm Equivalents exist there for the MIDI API and others. For JACK -------- * the example clients directory contain sample code for many different things. JACK is such a simple API (no hardware configuration or format negotiation) that these examples are enough to get many people started without any further information. * the reference manual is at: http://jackit.sourceforge.net/docs/reference/index.html you're free to continue doing what you want but your software will not interoperate with other audio software, it will not work without card-specific hacks on various high-end audio interfaces, and at some point in the not very distant future, it will rely on ALSA's OSS emulation to run. --p
