Package: libdssialsacompat-dev (1.0.8a-1)

DSSI ALSA compatibility library (development files)

libdssialsacompat is simply an extraction from and repackaging of the code from alsa-lib, necessary to support DSSI on non-ALSA systems.

libdssialsacompat is intended to provide the snd_seq_event_t declarations and handling code necessary to compile and use DSSI on non-ALSA systems. It aims to allows compiling DSSI code with as little change as possible, while not presenting itself in such a way as to fool other autoconf-enabled code into thinking a system has ALSA.

This library does NOT provide any sort of emulation of the ALSA audio, MIDI, or sequencer devices. The only part of ALSA that is required by the DSSI specification is the snd_seq_event_t definition and handling, and that is all libdssialsacompat is intended to replace. Other ALSA code should be ported to native facilities.

This package provides the development files.
