very nice article about Linux sound system
"Now much has changed, namely:

* OSS is now free and open source once again.
* PulseAudio has become widespread.
* Existing libraries have been improved.
* New Linux Distributions have been released, and some existing ones have attempted an overhaul of their entire sound stack to improve users' experience.
* People read the last article, and have more knowledge than before, and in some cases, have become more opinionated than before.
* I personally have looked much closer at the issue to provide even more relevant information."
