This article leads me to the assumption that OpenAL at least on Linux
is situated _always_ on top of the ALSA OSS emulation layer and does

Why should I avoid directly using the ALSA layer

Is this still true? I'm running KDE and can't remember the last

kde apps.
My impression was that recent versions of arts and esd released
