|
|
<P>The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture comes with a kernel API & library API.
|
|
|
|
|
This document describes the library API and how it interfaces with the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
API. The kernal API will probably never be documented in standalone form.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Application programmers should use the library API rather than kernel API.
|
|
|
|
|
The Library offers 100% of the functionally of the kernel API, but add next
|
|
|
|
|
major improvements in usability, making the application code simpler and
|
|
|
|
|
better looking. In addition, some of the some fixes/compatibility code in,
|
|
|
|
|
may be placed in the library code instead of the kernel driver.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For a complete list of all variables and functions in the API you should look

|
