| ARTICLES RELATED TO ALSA | | | |  ALSA: Encyclopedia II - Digital audio workstation - DevelopmentMusicians and composers long had a desire to integrate stereos, turntables, recording equipment, MIDI keyboards and even electric guitars with computers. Serious computer-based composition tools began to appear with the Atari ST and Amiga computer systems. Enthusiasts continued to seek more integrated, easier-to-use and higher-performance tools for audio creation tasks. Many current DAWs even support integration with video streams allowing full A/V production.

| | | | ALSA: Encyclopedia II - Slackware - Design philosophies
Slackware - KISS.
KISS, which stands for "Keep it Simple, Stupid," is a concept that explains a lot of design choices in Slackware. In this context, 'simple' refers to the viewpoint of system design, rather than ease of use. This is the reason there are so few GUI tools to configure the system. GUI tools are (as the theory goes) more complex, and are therefore more prone to have problems than simple command line tools. The overall result of this principle is that Slackware is very fast, stable, and secure, ...

| | | | ALSA: Encyclopedia II - Sound card - History Sound cards for computers based on the IBM PC remained uncommon until about 1988, leaving the internal PC speaker as the only way early PC games could produce sound and music. The result was commonly referred to as being limited to "beeps and boops". One company, Access Software, went so far as to develop support for digital sound output over this limited speaker. The resulting audio, while functional, was extremely scratchy and required all other processing to halt while sounds were played. Other personal computers of the age, including the ...

| | | | ALSA: Encyclopedia II - Linux kernel - History The project was launched in 1991 with a famous post to the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.minix that includes this sentence:
"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones..." [1]
At the time, the GNU project had created many of the components required for a free operating system, but its own kernel, the GNU Hurd, was incomplete and unavailable. The BSD operating system had not yet freed itself from legal encumbrances. This left a space for the Li ...

| | | | ALSA: Encyclopedia II - Digital audio workstation - Common functionality of computer-based DAWs Most computer-based DAWs have a standard layout which includes transport controls (play, rewind, record, etc.), track controls and/or a mixer, and a waveform display. In single-track DAWs, only one (mono or stereo form) sound is displayed at a time.
Multitrack DAWs support operations on multiple tracks at once. Each track typically has controls that allow the user to adjust the overall volume and balance (pan) of all of the waveforms contained within the track. The pan control allows the user to adjust the bala ...

| | | | ALSA: Encyclopedia II - Slackware - History and name The first Slackware release, 1.00, was released on July 16, 1993 [1] by Patrick Volkerding, founder and lead developer. It was based on the SLS Linux distribution and supplied as 3½" floppy disk images that were available by anonymous FTP. Slackware is the oldest maintained distribution to date, celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2003.
The name "Slackware" stems from the term "Slack," as defined by the Church of the SubGenius.
In the early releases of Slackware, the distribution had three user accounts, "satan," "gonzo" and "snake." These were provided as examples, but were removed from later re ...

All students automatically become members of the guild under current universal student membership legislation, though they are able to opt-out of membership if they so choose. As well as handling student representation and assistance with eduction and welfare issues, the Guild manages two food outlets on campus, runs the tavern, sports and recreation centre and the second hand bookshop. The guild partially finances many of the student associations on campus and run specific guild events of their own. Finally, the ...

Linux kernel - Architecture.
The Linux kernel includes true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking.
Today Linux is a module-loading monolithic kernel. Device drivers and kernel extensions typically run in ring 0, with full access to the hardware, although some run in user space. Unlike standard monolithic kernels, device drivers are easily configured as modules, and loaded or unloaded while running th ...
