	ALSA -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Some of the goals of the ALSA project was to support automatic configuration of sound card hardware, and graceful handling of multiple sound devices in a system, goals which it has largely met.
		ALSA provides 100% backward compatability to OSS while adding automatic multiplex sound streams, meaning you can play many sound streams at the same time without a sound server such as ESD (GNOME) and (Studies intended to provide general knowledge and intellectual skills (rather than occupational or professional skills)) aRts (KDE).
		ALSA also requires its own sound drivers for sound cards, as the old OSS drivers are now also obsolete.

	ALSA Supports New Stem Cell Research Efforts to Find a Cure for ALS - ALS Association - Keith Worthington Chapter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		ALSA will fund both efforts as part of the Lou Gehrig Challenge: Cure ALS, a $25 million initiative to rapidly accelerate the search for a cure for ALS.
		ALSA's collaboration with NINDS includes a commitment to fund at least one additional application relevant to further efforts in stem cell therapy for ALS.
		ALSA is not limited in this commitment and is open to funding additional grant requests based on their relevance to ALS.

	Introduction to Sound Programming with ALSA \| Linux Journal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		ALSA is a good choice if you are performing low-level audio functions for maximum control and performance or want to make use of special features not supported by other sound APIs.
		The ALSA Project was started because the sound drivers in the Linux kernel (OSS/Free drivers) were not being maintained actively and were lagging behind the capabilities of new sound technology.
		ALSA provides symbolic names for the last enumerated value and a utility function that returns a descriptive string for a value.

	On the ALSA Track \| Linux Journal
		Like Linux itself, ALSA began with rather modest goals: Jaroslav simply wanted more out of his Gravis UltraSound soundcard than the existing API could deliver, and he was willing and able to meet the demands of the task.
		ALSA's features and popularity grew to a point when users and developers began lobbying for utilizing ALSA to replace the OSS/Free system packaged with the kernel sources.
		ALSA provides alsaconf (see Figure 1), which is fine for simple card configurations, but it's not so good with systems having multiple cards, nor does it handle loading the virtual or dummy drivers.

	Gentoo Linux Documentation -- Gentoo Linux ALSA Guide
		ALSA is the default sound subsystem in the 2.6 kernel thereby replacing OSS (Open Sound System), which was used in the 2.4 kernels.
		ALSA's main features include efficient support for all types of audio interfaces ranging from consumer sound cards to professional sound equipment, fully modularized drivers, SMP and thread safety, backward compatibility with OSS and a user-space library alsa-lib to make application development a breeze.
		The main difference between using alsa-driver and ALSA that comes with the kernel is that alsa-driver is generally more up to date than the version in the kernel.

	HOWTO ALSA sound mixer aka dmix - Gentoo Linux Wiki
		However, 2.4 kernels where alsa is built in-kernel should be rebuilt to use alsa as modules, or dmix won't work.
		Your oss applications will use the alsa emulation, the oss alsa device will be set up to use the same muxing device as other applications.
		Recent releases of esound support alsa plug in hw devices, so if your gnome apps, or some binary apps, could easily work with esound, and you don't care about latency, esound can play out to dmix, which works nicely.

	freshmeat.net: Project details for ALSA driver
		It also includes a fully-featured kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins, PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.
		I've reccomneded ALSA to several people since then, and they've all preferred it to OSS as well.
		Ignore the naysayers here, ALSA is a very good thing and you should give it a try.

	Neowin.net -> ALSA URGENT HELP NEEDED!
		I then went to kernel.org and grabbed the latest kernel which is I believe 2.6.8.1 (at the last count) and configured alsa into my kernel (that is not as a module) along with sound card support, my specific sound card, OSS mixer and OSS digital out stuff (although I kept the OSS stuff as modules).
		Second must the version of alsa libs and alsa utils I install exactly match the version of alsa driver I have running in my kernel (which is 1.4 I believe)
		I am not sure what alsa sound state is, but it appears to define which mixer controls are present and their respective volume levels.

		As it is still not included by default, and since it contains some kernel modules and device nodes, installing, upgrading and removing ALSA isn't trivial.
		If you do not find a matching package, recompile the source "alsa-driver" rpm while running the kernel you intend to use ALSA with, having the corresponding "kernel-source" package installed and using "--target " to choose the correct architecture ("i686" for instance).
		Edit your /etc/modules.conf file accordingly to the instructions found on The ALSA Soundcard Matrix for your sound card/chip.

		For ALSA, it worked "out of the box" for me except for one thing, I could not get oss-emu to work, so I installed alsa-base and alsa-utils and then I ran alsa-conf and that took care of the problem.

		ALSA is also faster to come out with drivers for new sound cards.
		There are also quite a few native ALSA applications available, and others which support both ALSA and OSS but perform much better under ALSA.

		Multichannel (and mono and stereo) works under alsa in snd only with interleaved soundcards.
		The RME is non-interleaved, so you will get an error when the alsa code in snd tries to open the soundcard (look at the error log to see what you are getting).
