Hi, I am very new to ALSA and just trying to get familier with the things, I have got few questions.
- Is it true that all the OSS drivers are included only in directory
linux/sound/oss and no where else?
Afaik, mostly yes. I've seen some in other places, although they were never official.
- There are arch specific folders like ARM, MIPS etc, so all the drivers in
these folders are ALSA or OSS?
ALSA
- If I write a new driver for an OMAP based board, it should go in to
linux/sound/arm/omap/ right? Or only ALSA drivers for this board should go there?
It could either go in linux/sound/arm or you could write a more generic omap driver (i.e. not tightly coupled to either your board or codec) and place it in sound/soc/omap/, this would allow your work to be used on other boards/platforms.
- I have some old OSS drivers
which were written for my board, do I need to make them ALSA drivers to be in line with the latest trend i.e. phasing out OSS drivers?
Yes, I would recommend this.
