Is there a reference or HOWTO on how all of the

together in Linux? I've looked around, and most are horribly out of date,
and don't cover it all anyway.
My goal is to get everything I need on Linux to replace my Sonar 3.1 setup,
and it looks like the programs are available. I just can't get everything
to work, and part of the problem is that I don't understand Linux audio
very well yet. I need to understand how alsa relates to jackd, what is
'oss,' and why is that the only option available in Audacity to me that
works, and why when I run jackd, some of my other programs no longer have a
sound output available at all.
Any help, or pointers to the information, would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also a relative newbie, and I can imagine what you're experiencing. I also
shouted out for a better (newbie) documentation....
Here some sites which may help you.
- http://www.linuxjournal.com/users/dave-phillips/track
- http://linux-sound.org/
- http://www.64studio.com/manual/audio
More advanced and difficult documentation or most of the time on the site of
the particular application.
Freewheeling has even some video tutorials!!!! That should be a example for
the other applications and there websites....
Good luck
