<H2>Preface</H2>
|
|
<P>The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (\e ALSA) comes with a kernel
|
|
API and a library API. This document describes the library API and how
|
|
it interfaces with the kernel API.</P>

|
<H2>API usage</H2>
|
|
<P>Application programmers should use the library API rather than the
|
|
kernel API. The library offers 100% of the functionality of the kernel API,
|
|
but adds major improvements in usability, making the application code simpler
|
|
and better looking. In addition, future fixes or compatibility code
|
|
may be placed in the library code instead of the kernel driver.</P>
