At the moment the official documentation is sparse. There is a lot of example code available in open source applications. What exactly are you looking to achieve? FYI, most professional audio application developers tend to work with JACK rather than ALSA directly. There is also Pulse-Audio and gstreamer. You might find that you have more luck discussing application development on the LAD list. There is also the JACK-devel list. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd
