Out of interest, after alsa it was pulse and now it’s turning to pipewire?
What was the standard before ESD?

Before ESD? I don’t recall. Spittle and prayers, I think. I vaguely recall having sound on my Sound Blaster 16 in my 486DX2, but… that was a long time ago.

OSS was the Linux sound system before ALSA. I’m not sure if ESD replaced OSS or ran on top of it. I vaguely remember configuring this stuff for my 486/SoundBlaster in Slackware back in the early 2000s.

You’re right. I think ESD could run atop OSS and maybe even ALSA for a while. Not sure if it could operate without either. Those sure were interesting times.
