Description-en: ALSA driver configuration files
This package contains various configuration files for
the ALSA drivers.
.
For ALSA to work on a system with a given sound card,
there must be an ALSA driver for that card in the kernel.
Linux 2.6 as shipped in linux-image packages contains
ALSA drivers for all supported sound cards in the form
of loadable modules. A custom alsa-modules package can
be built from the sources in the alsa-source package
using the m-a utility (included in the module-assistant
package). Please read the README.Debian file for more
information about loading and building modules.
.
ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.
