Hi,

Im new to alsa and have a primitive question. What is alsa anyway? Is the same
as OSS/Lite but with better support for the sound cards?

what mean full compatible with OSS?
Does it mean i can use the OSS driver with the alsa driver? or that i can use
the same app. as with working with OSS?


I have a SB AWE64, sould i remove the OSS driver for my card before trying to
install alsa?


thanks for the information,
Phillip Neumann,
