![]() Have problems writing apps to their own API. So tells you that even the ALSA developers This support for XMMS was not written by us but by one of the ALSA people.

Little does anybody know that without OSS API emulation, ALSA would ever have been allowed into the kernel by Linus. People learn one new term “deprecated” and that’s all everybody keep writing in every single article. The author has show some examples of ALSA programming….exactly how is this advanced compared to OSS? OSS v4.0 is due out sometime this year and we will be adding new features while maintaining 100% backward compatibility for apps written as early as 1994.Īny app you want to run on ALSA will also run on OSS (via Jack for OSS). ![]() OSS drivers (gpl’ed and commercial) are all full duplex and the ALSA guys keep raging on FULL duplex features of ALSA – only one OSS driver was intially not full duplex (SB16) that was eventually made full duplex. Everything one can do with ALSA can also be done on OSS drivers. OSS the API is stable and is very advanced even when it was originally written in 1993. Being one of the principals behind Open Sound System, I can tell you that this article has been written without doing any research. ![]()
