So it would sit right on top of ALSA, pulseaudio, OSS, ... and abstract away all hardware-related complexity (e.g. having to check whether a card supports XYZ on ALSA before using it).<br /> <br /> The API was named after the location of<br /> [http://www.foms-workshop.org/foms2007/pmwiki.php/Main/CommunityGoals FOMS2007], which was held in Sydney, Australia.<br /> <br /> = Implementations =<br /> <br /> * http://svn.annodex.net/libsydneyaudio/trunk This is a lightweight implementation used by Mozilla Firefox<br /> * http://git.0pointer.de/repos/libsydney.git/ Lennart Poettering's implementation<br /> <br /> There is talk of merging these implementations. Alternatively, they can be considered as drop-in replacements for each<br /> other depending on platform needs.</div>
