TinyALSA

Build Status

TinyALSA is a small library to interface with ALSA in the Linux kernel.

The aims are:

  • Provide a basic pcm and mixer API.
  • If it's not absolutely needed, don't add it to the API.
  • Avoid supporting complex and unnecessary operations, that could be dealt with at a higher level.
  • Provide comprehensive documentation.

Building

TinyALSA uses Makefile as the primary build system.

To build and install with Make, run the commands:

make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

TinyALSA is now available as a set of the following debian packages from launchpad:
