Cleaning Up the Linux Desktop Audio Mess 2007-06-30 Red Hat

Desktop audio on Linux is a mess. There are just too many competing, incompatible sound systems around. Most current audio applications have to support every sound system in parallel and thus ship with sound abstraction layers with a more or less large number of back-end plug-ins. JACK clients are incompatible with ALSA clients, which in turn are incompatible with OSS clients, which in turn are incompatible with ESD clients, and so on. "Incompatible" often means "Exclusive;" e.g., if an OSS application gets access to the audio hardware, all ALSA applications cannot access it.
