-Linux sound drivers are primarily provided by the free version of OSS.
-These drivers have been superseded by <ulink url="http://www.alsa-project.org">ALSA</ulink>
-(Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) in the 2.5 development series. If
-your distribution does not already use ALSA you may wish to try their
-drivers if you experience sound problems. ALSA drivers are generally
-superior to OSS in compatibility, performance and features. But some
-sound cards are only supported by the commercial OSS drivers from
-<ulink url="http://www.opensound.com/">4Front Technologies</ulink>.
-They also support several non-Linux systems.
