                     44: .Lb libossaudio
1.1       augustss   45: .Sh SYNOPSIS
                     46: .Fd #include <soundcard.h>
                     47: .Sh DESCRIPTION
                     48: The
                     49: .Nm
                     50: library provides an emulation of the OSS (Linux) audio
                     51: interface.
                     52: .Pp
                     53: Use the native interface for new programs and the emulation
                     54: library only for porting programs.
                     55: .Sh SEE ALSO
1.7       augustss   56: .Xr audio 4 ,
                     57: .Xr midi 4 .
1.2       augustss   58: .Sh BUGS
1.5       augustss   59: The emulation uses an #define for
                     60: .Va ioctl()
                     61: so some obscure programs
1.2       augustss   62: can fail to compile.
                     63: .Pp
                     64: The emulation is incomplete.
1.5       augustss   65: .Pp
                     66: The emulation only covers
                     67: .Va ioctl() ,
                     68: there are other differences as well.  E.g., on a write
                     69: that would block in non-blocking mode Linux returns
                     70: .Dv EINTR
                     71: whereas
                     72: .Nx 1.3
                     73: returns
                     74: .Dv EWOULDBLOCK .
1.4       augustss   75: .Sh HISTORY
                     76: The
                     77: .Nm
                     78: library first appeared in
                     79: .Nx 1.3 .
