CONFIG_ALSA

 The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI
 functionality to the Linux operating system. ALSA has the following 
 significant features: 

 - Efficient support for all types of audio interfaces, from consumer
   soundcards to professional multichannel audio interfaces. 
 - Fully modularized sound drivers. 
 - SMP and thread-safe design. 
 - User space library (alsa-lib) to simplify application programming 
   and provide higher level functionality. 
 - Support for the older OSS API, providing binary compatibility for most 
   OSS programs. 

 Also included is AlsaPlayer. AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. 
 It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library 
 and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique 
 to Linux/Unix players. The goal is to create a fully pluggable 
 framework for playback of all sorts of media with the focus on PCM audio
 data. 
 
 Supported file formats

 - MP3 files using MADMP3 audio files using the mpg123 based plugin 
   WAV files
