Description:

This module provides a pure-Perl, no-nonsense, filehandle-based
interface to the Open Sound System. Audio::DSP is fine for simple,
blocking audio I/O, but it doesn't hold up when you want to do
something more complicated. That is, it doesn't expose the features of
the audio device interface that are required to do things like
non-blocking audio, real-time control of playback, querying the
capabilities of the audio device, finding the supported sampling
rates, etc. Audio::OSS provides a procedural interface based around
filehandles opened on the audio device (usually /dev/dsp* for PCM
audio). It also defines constants for various ioctl calls and other
things based on the OSS system header files, so you don't have to rely
on .ph files that may or may be correct or even present on your
system.
