ALSA 标准是一个先进的linux声音体系。它包含内核驱动集合，API库和工具对Linux声音进行支持。ALSA 包含一系列内核驱动对不同的声卡进行支持，还提供了libasound的API库。用这些进行写程序不需要打开设备等操作，所以编程人员在写程序的时候不会被底层的东西困扰。与此相反OSS/Free 驱动在内核层次调用，需要指定设备名和调用ioctl。为提供向后兼容， ALSA 提供内核模块模仿 OSS/Free 驱动，所以大多数的程序不需要改动。 ALSA 拥有调用插件的能力对新设备提供扩展，包括那些用软件模拟出来的虚拟设备。 ALSA 还提供一组命令行工具包括 mixer, sound file player 和工具控制一些特别的声卡的特别的作用。
二.ALSA 体系：
ALSA API 被主要分为以下几种接口：
l 控制接口：提供灵活的方式管理注册的声卡和对存在的声卡进行查询。
l PCM接口：提供管理数字音频的捕捉和回放。
l 原始 MIDI 接口: 支持 MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), 一种标准电子音乐指令集。 这些 API 提供访问声卡上的 MIDI 总线。这些原始借口直接工作在 The MIDI 事件上，程序员只需要管理协议和时间。
l 记时接口: 为支持声音的同步事件提供访问声卡上的定时器。
l 音序器接口：一个比原始MIDI接口高级的MIDI编程和声音同步高层接口。它可以处理很多的MIDI协议和定时器。
l 混音器接口：控制发送信号和控制声音大小的声卡上的设备。
三.声卡的缓存和数据的传输：
一块声卡有一个声卡内存用来存储记录的样本。当它被写满时就产生中断。内核驱动就使用DMA将数据传输到内存中。同样地，当在播放时就将内存中的声音样本使用DMA传到声卡的内存中！
声卡的缓存是环状的，这里只讨论应用程序中的内存结构：ALSA将数据分成连续的片段然后传到按单元片段传输。
四：典型的声音程序结构：
open interface for capture or playback
set hardware parameters
(access mode, data format, channels, rate, etc.)
while there is data to be processed:
read PCM data (capture)
or write PCM data (playback)
close interface
五.一些例子： 1.显示一些PCM的类型和格式:
#include
#include
int main()
{
std::cout << "ALSA library version: " << SND_LIB_VERSION_STR << std::endl;
std::cout << "PCM stream types: " << std::endl;
for (int val=0; val <= SND_PCM_STREAM_LAST; ++val)
std::cout << snd_pcm_stream_name((snd_pcm_stream_t)val) << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "PCM access types: " << std::endl;
for (int val=0; val <= SND_PCM_ACCESS_LAST; ++val)
std::cout << snd_pcm_access_name((snd_pcm_access_t)val) << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "PCM subformats: " << std::endl;
for (int val=0; val <= SND_PCM_SUBFORMAT_LAST; ++val)
std::cout << snd_pcm_subformat_name((snd_pcm_subformat_t)val) << " (" << snd_pcm_subformat_description((snd_pcm_subformat_t)val) << ")" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "PCM states: " << std::endl;
for (int val=0; val <= SND_PCM_STATE_LAST; ++val)
std::cout << snd_pcm_state_name((snd_pcm_state_t)val) << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "PCM formats: " << std::endl;
for (int val=0; val <= SND_PCM_FORMAT_LAST; ++val)
std::cout << snd_pcm_format_name((snd_pcm_format_t)val) << " (" << snd_pcm_format_description((snd_pcm_format_t)val) << ")" << std::endl;
std::cout << std::endl;
}
