Linux Sound Architecture

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



 

(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).
