OSSAUDIO(3) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual OSSAUDIO(3)NAME
ossaudio - OSS audio emulation
LIBRARY-lossaudio
SYNOPSIS
#include <soundcard.h>
DESCRIPTION
The ossaudio library provides an emulation of the OSS (Linux) audio
interface.
Use the native interface for new programs and the emulation library only
for porting programs.
SEE ALSOaudio(4)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.
