NAME

ossaudio — OSS audio emulation

SYNOPSIS

/* -lossaudio */
#include <soundcard.h>

DESCRIPTION

The ossaudio library provides an emulation of the OSS (Linux) audio interface.

Use the native sioctl_open(3) interface for new programs and the emulation library only for porting programs.

SEE ALSO

sioctl_open(3), audio(4)

HISTORY

The ossaudio library first appeared in NetBSD 1.3.

BUGS

The emulation uses a #define for ioctl() so some obscure programs can fail to compile.

The emulation is incomplete.

The emulation only covers ioctl(), there are other differences as well. E.g., on a write that would block in non-blocking mode Linux returns EINTR whereas OpenBSD returns EAGAIN.
