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.

Thats true but PortAudio doesnt support the most usful linux audio API,
JACK. If your app has any pro-audio use then JACK support is essential.

But it does! Not very well yet, it seems, but PA has a Jack-Backend
called pa_jack.

I dont think it works :) But if it does then sure, use PortAudio.
