-\begin{abstract}
-\noindent
-This package contains wrappers for accessing the ALSA api from Python. It
-is currently fairly complete for PCM devices and Mixer access. MIDI sequencer
-support is low on my priority list, but volunteers are welcome.
-
-If you find bugs in the wrappers please notify me on email. Please
-don't send bug reports regarding ALSA specifically. There are several
-bugs in this api, and those should be reported to the ALSA team - not
-me.

-\section{What is ALSA}
-
-The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI
-functionality to the Linux operating system.
-
-Logically ALSA consists of these components:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item A set of kernel drivers.\\
- These drivers are responsible for handling the physical sound
- hardware from within the Linux kernel, and have been the standard
- sound implementation in Linux since kernel version 2.5
- \item A kernel level API for manipulating the ALSA devices.
- \item A user-space C library for simplified access to the sound hardware
- from userspace applications. This library is called \textit{libasound}
- and is required by all ALSA capable applications.
-\end{itemize}
-
-More information about ALSA may be found on the project homepage
-\url{http://www.alsa-project.org}
-
-\section{ALSA and Python}
-
-The older Linux sound API (OSS) which is now deprecated is well supported
-from the standard Python library, through the ossaudiodev module. No native
-ALSA support exists in the standard library (yet).
-
-There are a few other ``ALSA for Python'' projects available, including at
-least two different projects called pyAlsa. Neither of these seem to be under
-active development at the time - and neither are very feature complete.
-
-I wrote PyAlsaAudio to fill this gap. My long term goal is to have the module
-included in the standard Python library, but that is probably a while of yet.
-
-PyAlsaAudio hass full support for sound capture, playback of sound, as well as
-the ALSA Mixer API.
-
-MIDI support is not available, and since I don't own any MIDI hardware, it's
-difficult for me to implement it. Volunteers to work on this would be greatly
-appreciated
-\section{Installation}
-
-Note: the wrappers link with the alsasound library (from the alsa-lib
-package). Verify that this is installed by looking for /usr/lib/libasound.so
-before building. Naturally you also need to use a kernel with proper ALSA
-support. This is the default in Linux kernel 2.6 and later. If you are using
-kernel version 2.4 you may need to install the ALSA patches yourself - although
-most distributions ship with ALSA kernels.
-
-To install, execute the following: \\
-\begin{verbatim}
-$ python setup.py build
-\end{verbatim}
-
-And then as root: \\
-\begin{verbatim}
-# python setup.py install
-\end{verbatim}
-
-\input{libalsaaudio}
