Sound systems: OSS/ALSA/?
I've been looking at OSS, OSS/Lite and ALSA and have become
thoroughly confused.
Question One: General knowledge question - where do these things fit
into the Linux system? Are they patches to the kernel source, or
what? Daemons? Has Debian packaged them and if so where?
I have an SB16 sound card, and it's currently working OK - I compiled
kernel support in and so on.
But I want to see if I can get it to take two input channels and
give one priority over another. ie like this:
Input one - generic mp3s being played.
Inpet two - festival.
IF input 2 is active, then input one can either be paused, muted or
stopped or something until it's finished.
Am I making sense? If so, are these sound thingies something relavent,
or not? Would they help?
