- OSS <--> ALSA PCM plugin
- ========================
-
- This plugin converts the ALSA API over OSS API. With this plugin,
- ALSA native apps can run on OSS drivers.
-
- This plugin provides the PCM type "oss". The typical configuration
- looks like below:
-
- pcm.oss {
- type oss
- device /dev/dsp
- }
-
- Put the above to ~/.asoundrc (or /etc/asound.conf), and use "oss" PCM
- with your ALSA apps. For example,
-
- % aplay -Doss foo.wav
-
- For playing arbitrary formats, you should use "plug" layer together,
-
- % aplay -Dplug:oss foo.wav
-
- The oss plugin can have an option: device. This specifies the device
- file path of OSS to open. If not given, /dev/dsp is used.
-
- The function supported by this plugin is limited. For example, you
- cannot use dmix together with this plugin. Don't expect too much :)
-
- The plugin is installed in /usr/lib/alsa-lib directory as default,
- which is the default search path of additional plugins for alsa-lib.
- On a 64bit system like x86-64, the proper prefix option (typically,
- --prefix=/usr/lib64) must be given to configure script.
