Or that commercial linux sound driver package... I don't even remember
what it was called anymore.
OSS I think - something like Open Sound System or some such other
crazy thing, being it was neither Open nor most of the time for me
produced Sound on my System. ;-)
I think there is still support for it in the kernel. Go figure...
It's only been deprecated for over a decade...I can only barely
remember a time before ALSA was pulled into the mainline kernel.
OSS is the standard sound system for Unix still to this day though.
Everybody uses it, except Linux.
It's GPL by the way. I actually use it on my main PC ;-) On supported
sound cards, it works much better than ALSA. Not the version in the
kernel, of course, that one is deprecated. The newest version is v4 and
is only available out-of-kernel.
