From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's still not direct hardware, if you think you cracked the code then by all means show everyone otherwise, this would be a huge deal for a lot of people
Not direct enough? It literally says it will send your buffer straight to soundcard without creating any additional buffers.
Other people under this post complain of ALSA being too direct.
