OSSAUDIO(3) BSD Programmer's Manual OSSAUDIO(3)NAMEossaudio - OSS audio emulation
LIBRARY-lossaudio
SYNOPSIS
#include <soundcard.h>
DESCRIPTION
The ossaudio library provides an emulation of the OSS (Linux) audio in-
terface.
Use the native interface for new programs and the emulation library only
for porting programs.
SEE ALSOaudio(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.
