Expanding towards ALSA

[Allan Metts]

Low latency and more flexibility -- especially if you're using Linux for 
professional audio and video work.  Take a look at PlanetCCRMA for one-stop

RedHat, but the keeper of this repository is in the process of putting 
together a Fedora-based set of packages.
