for Linux, PortAudio sits on top of OSS, ALSA and JACK (the last two
in v19 only). it uses whatever those layers provide, and in turn
provides a callback-driven API (though v19 also provides blocking i/o
for reasons i don't fully agree with :).

And of course on other platforms PortAudio sits on top of ASIO,
CoreAudio, MME, and others.
