Maybe your chip doesn't support multiple opens. dmix should work with all soundcards in theory (though it is still rather new and has a bug every now and then). What about using snd_pcm_open_preferred() instead of snd_pcm_open? I think then the user can make their default plugin dmix, and ALSA will figure out what to open by itself and just tell you what it did, instead of trying to open a specific device. -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
