This goal is achieved in part by using software plug-ins for example, many modern sound cards or built-in sound chips do not have a "master volume" control. Unlike the kernel API, which tries to reflect the capabilities of the hardware directly, ALSA's user-space library presents an abstraction that remains as standardized as possible across disparate underlying hardware elements.

Multiprocessor-friendly, thread-safe device drivers.īesides the sound device drivers, ALSA bundles a user-space library for application developers who want to use driver features through an interface that is higher-level than the interface provided for direct interaction with the kernel drivers. While ALSA may be configured to provide an OSS emulation layer, such functionality is no longer available or is not installed by default in many Linux distributions.ĪLSA was designed with some features which were not, at the time of its conception, supported by OSS: ĪLSA has a larger and more complex API than OSS, so it can be more difficult to develop an application that uses ALSA as its sound technology. In the 2.6 version, it replaced the previous system, Open Sound System (OSS), by default (although a backwards-compatibility layer does exist). 
It started in 1998 and was developed separately from the Linux kernel until it was introduced in the 2.5 development series in 2002 (2.5.4–2.5.5). The project to develop ALSA was led by Jaroslav Kysela, and was based on the Linux device driver for the Gravis Ultrasound sound card.
