Audio HAL
The Audio HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) provides an interface for higher-level audio frameworks (like Android's) to interact with the underlying audio hardware, which often uses ALSA drivers. It abstracts the hardware-specific details and provides a standardized interface.
GStreamer
GStreamer is a multimedia framework that can use ALSA as an audio output sink. It's a higher-level framework that leverages ALSA for audio playback.
I2S
I2S (Inter-IC Sound) is a serial communication protocol used to connect digital audio devices. ALSA drivers often interact with I2S interfaces to transmit and receive audio data.
