ALSA has the following significant features:
|
|
- efficient support for all types of audio interfaces, from consumer soundcards to professional multichannel audio interfaces
|
|
- fully modularized sound drivers
|
|
- SMP and thread-safe design
|
|
- user space library (alsa-lib) to simplify application programming and provide higher level functionality
|
|
- support for the older OSS API, providing binary compatibility for most OSS programs
