Preamble and License
Preface
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) comes with a kernel API and a library API. This document describes the library API and how it interfaces with the kernel API.

API usage
Application programmers should use the library API rather than the kernel API. The library offers 100% of the functionality of the kernel API, but adds major improvements in usability, making the application code simpler and better looking. In addition, future fixes or compatibility code may be placed in the library code instead of the kernel driver.
