+TinyALSA
+========
+
+TinyALSA is a small library to interface with ALSA in the Linux kernel.
+
+The aims are:
+
+ - Provide a basic pcm and mixer API.
+ - If it's not absolutely needed, don't add it to the API.
+ - Avoid supporting complex and unnecessary operations, that could be
+ dealt with at a higher level.
+ - Provide comprehensive documentation.
+
+### Building
+
+TinyALSA uses Makefile as the primary build system.
+
+To build and install with Make, run the commands:
+
+```
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
