ALSA was mentioned in the February issue of Linux Journal, in an article
about CSound :)

Here is the excerpt from the Article (Linux Journal, February 1999 issue
58, p.41 "Csound for Linux" by David Phillips)

...
While certainly sufficient for casual use, many sonic notions such as
full-duplex and muliplexed real-time audio I/O are not realizable by the
OSS/Free driver.  However, the ALSA driver does indeed support those uses;
thanks to code from Fred Floberg, Linux CSound now explicitly supports
the ALSA interface.  (The ALSA project, led by Jaroslav Kycela, is
forming a new extended sound system API compatible with OSS/Free, but
permitting much more advanced uses for sound card features not supported
by OSS/Free.)...

Keep up the good work!
