  Announcing Open Sound System for Linux on Digital-Alpha Workstations 


LOS ANGELES: 4Front Technologies is announcing the availability of the
the Open Sound System(TM) sound drivers for Linux (OSS/AlphaLinux) running on 
Digital Alpha workstations. OSS/AlphaLinux is a commercial implementation of 
the OSS/Free drivers (the free soundcard drivers provided with the Linux 
kernel distribution).

OSS/AlphaLinux provides a user-friendly GUI which makes the installation of 
sound drivers and configuration of sound cards extremely simple!. OSS/AlphaLinux
even supports Plug-n-Play (PnP) soundcards for which there is no support 
in OSS/Free. Finally, OSS/AlphaLinux supports many soundcards which are not 
supported in the OSS/Free sound drivers. 

4Front Technologies has developed OSS/AlphaLinux to be compatible with OSS/Free
for base audio functionality, but it also provides additional audio 
interfaces. such as the Direct Music API for directly accessing the FM 
synthesizer found on most Sound Blaster compatible soundcards. There is 
also support for 4Front's revolutionary new SoftOSS - software emulation 
of wave-table synthesis hardware. SoftOSS on the Alpha can deliver crisp
MIDI music rendered at 48KHz-16bit-stereo sound, using wave-table 
instrument samples. For more information on SoftOSS please visit
http://www.4front-tech.com/softoss.html.

AlphaLinux users can visit 4Front's Web site at http://www.4front-tech.com
to download a "free" 5-day trial version of OSS/AlphaLinux or buy a fully 
licensed version of OSS/AlphaLinux for AlphaLinux for only $30.00. The licensed
version of OSS/AlphaLinux comes with free technical support and free updates.
