[asterisk-users] Asterisk - Soundcard - Recording?

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

I'll take a stab, since you said no GUI and also USB based mic. 
Raspberry Pi project?  I'm interested in this vein as well, especially 
after the recent post about voice recognition.  I was thinking that 
Raspberry Pi's with mics could live around my house and all have 
dedicated always-open channels to a conference bridge in the main 
asterisk box.   I was planning on using ALSA and a USB mic on a local 
Raspberry Pi asterisk instance.

So given that we know basically what you are trying to do, the original 
question was OSS versus ALSA for USB mic, correct?  Has anyone had any 
thoughts on that?  I thought ALSA was built in to the kernel and OSS 
required some hacks.  But that is a pretty fuzzy recollection.
