1. Introduction

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture comes with kernel API & library API. This document describes library API and how it interlaces with kernel API which probably will not never be documented standalone.

Programmer should use library API rather than kernel API. Library API 100% covers the kernel API, but add next major improvements to make final sound application code simple and better looking. Maybe there should be some fixes/compatibility code in library code rather than in kernel driver, too.

For complex list of all variables and functions you should look to these header files:

  1. /usr/include/linux/sound.h
  2. /usr/include/sys/soundlib.h
  3. /usr/include/linux/sounddetect.h
