ALSA driver configuration files

This package contains various configuration files for the ALSA drivers.

For ALSA to work on a system with a given sound card, there must be an ALSA driver for that card in the kernel. Linux 2.6 as shipped in linux-image packages contains ALSA drivers for all supported sound cards in the form of loadable modules. For either Linux 2.6 or Linux 2.4 a custom alsa-modules package can be built from the sources in the alsa-source package using the make-kpkg utility (included in the kernel-package package). Some pre-built alsa-modules packages are available in the Debian archive. Please read the README.Debian file for information about loading modules.

ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.

OSS is the free version of the Open Sound System.
