You need to setup dmix and aoss as described here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin and then start that programs to use your dmix'ed device. Many software tries to access things like "hw:0" directly, make them use your dmix-device. > My questions are therefore, as I haven't been able to find answers for > them: > - Am I using the right driver?

AFAIK the OSS-Free driver cannot do software mixing at all, so you may have had a sound daeomon running. > - Are there alternatives to sound daemons or the alsa software mixer?
