Hi,

I am trying to get dmix to work for me. My understanding is that dmix is
the solution  for user space daemons. If I use dmix, I don't have to use
those daemons (esd). Also, as many applications that I want can open
/dev/dsp without blocking. Is all of this true?

So far, my .asoundrc looks like

pcm.cmipci {
   type hw     # Kernel PCM
   card 0      # Card Number
   device 0    # Device Number
}

pcm.cmipci {
   type dmix               # Direct mix
   ipc_key 777             # unique IPC key
   slave cmipci
}
ctl.cmipci {
   type hw
   card 0
}

I can run this command 'aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav' on multiple terminals
and I do hear both.

My question is, how does all of this relate to non alsa applications? I
want to be able to use xmms, mozilla, and teamspeak all at once. It
still seems that, even with my current setup, only 1 instance of
/dev/dsp can be opened. Is there configuration problem?

Also, what about /dev/mixer, how does that relate to all of this?

Any answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
