.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ossaudio
|
|
.Nd OSS audio emulation
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libossaudio
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In soundcard.h
|
|
.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 SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr audio 4 ,
|
|
.Xr midi 4
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
library first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.3 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The emulation uses a #define for
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
|
so some obscure programs
|
|
can fail to compile.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The emulation is incomplete.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The emulation only covers
|
|
.Fn ioctl ,
|
|
there are other differences as well.
|
|
E.g., on a write
|
|
that would block in non-blocking mode Linux returns
|
|
.Dv EINTR
|
|
whereas
|
|
.Nx 1.3
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv EAGAIN .
