Filling in the the #inxi / #pinxi sound server/api stuff. Added #aRts, #Esound/#Enlightenment Sound Daemon/esd, filled out #NAS (Network Audio System), added active/inactive detection for ALSA.

I wanted to get the initial fixes for the standard current sound servers out as bug fixes, which was 3.3.26, and then I figured I'd fill in the rest.

Testing on old #Debian vms, #etch, #sarge, #lenny, all working fine as of today. Sarge shipped with aRts installed, with OSS, so good one to test on.

@ChristosArgyrop @mjgardner I have vms of #Debian #Sarge and #Etch, and run #Lenny on an old system, which helps me catch little oversights that slip in now and then. Some other people who test, #mrmazda in particular, runs a lot of old systems, so he catches stuff sometimes too. And I run current Debian testing so I'm also current on reasonable new #perl as well.

It feels like I'm seeing much more talk about #ubi , or its near relatives. I'm guessing this is related to 2022's developments in generative-AI

As a reminder, again, the only true dependency #inxi has is #Perl 5.008 or newer, and a few Perl core modules. This is to capture mainly very old #redhat servers, but also old #Debian servers, #Sarge, #Etch. While not a real dependency, kernel 2.6 introduced a lot more data over 2.4, so systems running 2.4 kernels tend to not show as much information.

#acxi is designed for Perl 5.010 or newer. As I learned once when getting an urgent issue due to bug on 5.010, this matters to acxi users!

Last #debian I had on my #thinkpad in 2010 was #etch I think. Now with my #asus and #buster after 3 days I can say #debian #linux #laptop has made huge progress !!! No need to go to the derivates like #ubuntu or #linuxmint, although both are great for getting people hooked on #linux!
