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.
