To get a grasp on the concepts (instead of just the code) for
this "audio stuff", these books are recommended:
Computer Music: Synthesis, Composition, and Performance
by Charles Dodge, Thomas A. Jerse
Hardcover 2nd edition (July 1997)
Schirmer Books; ISBN: 0028646827
The Computer Music Tutorial
by Curtis Roads
Paperback (January 1996)
MIT Press; ISBN: 0262680823
I haven't read this book but it is highly regarded as an
introduction to DSP:
Understanding Digital Signal Processing
by Richard G. Lyons
Hardcover (October 1996)
Addison-Wesley Pub Co; ISBN: 0201634678
If you live somewhere with a good public library system, don't
forget to look around for these books. If you live close to any
universities, don't forget to check their libraries also.
When you're ready to start coding, start with the OSS API and then
move to ALSA. I'd suggest the OSS Programmer's Guide to start:
