Description-en: Open Sound System - base package
Open Sound System (OSS) is an attempt in unifying
the digital audio architecture for UNIX.
.
This package contains various utilities for configuring
and using OSS
.
For OSS to work on a system with a given sound card, there must be
an OSS driver for that card in the kernel. For Linux,
a custom oss4-modules package can be built from the sources
in the oss4-source package using the module-assistant utility.
