.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
library provides an emulation of the OSS (Linux) audio
|
|
|
|
|
interface.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Use the native interface for new programs and the emulation
|
|
|
|
|
library only for porting programs.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
|
|
|
The

|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
library first appeared in
|
|
|
|
|
.Nx 1.3 .

|
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
2002-02-20 14:38:02 +03:00
|
|
|
The emulation uses a #define for
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
1997-10-29 03:31:01 +03:00
|
|
|
so some obscure programs
|
1997-10-16 21:46:28 +04:00
|
|
|
can fail to compile.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The emulation is incomplete.
|
1997-10-29 03:31:01 +03:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
1999-07-02 19:37:33 +04:00
|
|
|
The emulation only covers
|
2002-02-20 14:38:02 +03:00
|
|
|
.Fn ioctl ,
|
2002-10-01 23:26:58 +04:00
|
|
|
there are other differences as well.
|
|
|
|
|
E.g., on a write
|
1997-10-29 03:31:01 +03:00
|
|
|
that would block in non-blocking mode Linux returns
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv EINTR
|
|
|
|
|
whereas
|
|
|
|
|
.Nx 1.3
|
|
|
|
|
returns
|
2001-05-19 21:23:39 +04:00
|
|
|
.Dv EAGAIN .
