Carla/Tony,
Yes, ALSA is the preferred way to support sound, although AstLinux
doesn't support it or OSS.
Quite frankly, I have never thought of support sound in AstLinux. I'll
look into EXACTLY what it would take, but my guess is:
- ALSA support
- OSS emulation (not a bad idea)
- alsa utilities
Then, the other tricky part is making sure that the other apps support
it. Several apps (like flite) EXPLICITLY have sound output support
disabled. It may take some time to get all of these apps to
autodetect/support ALSA/OSS output.
