NAME
ossaudio —
OSS audio emulation
SYNOPSIS
library “libossaudio”
#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
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.
