(I hope the
ASCII art doesn't get mangled)
I have been
working a while trying to get a big picture of how Linux
handles
sound processing and after much work I have put together
this
little
representation of what I have learned.
Please send
me any additional comments or components that I may have
missed.
I hope it
helps somebody though who may be struggling in getting
sound to
work and just needs some idea of how all the parts fit
together.
There really
needs to be some concise, up-to-date Wiki on Linux
sound
processing and how the different applications work and
work
together (or not).
