| Traditional Linux (such as Slackware, and as opposed to something more progressive like [[http://redhat.com|Red Hat]] and [[http://getfedora.org|Fedora]]) deals with audio in its own unique way. This can be confusing to new users, or to experienced users who have never thought about it. It confuses people because almost no where in the audio schema is there a one-to-one mapping; you must think of audio processing in the computer as a series of rivers or streams, flowing from one or two sources internally, branching off one other for adjustment, and then re-joining at the end to deliver sound in the physical world. | Traditional Linux (such as Slackware, and as opposed to something more progressive like [[http://redhat.com|Red Hat]] and [[http://getfedora.org|Fedora]]) deals with audio in its own unique way.
