aoss doesn't work well with skype and vmware because both use mmap
access and full duplex.
Skype works with aoss only with certain asound.conf settings (with a
trial & error method), but sometimes the audio gets mute, you can
ear but not speak etc.
The only interesting solution I've found is oss2jack, but it's
dependent on jack (you must use jack for each software that uses
audio). How could be configured the jack plug in asound.conf? I tried
the combo (jack + oss2jack + alsa jack plug), but I haven't got it to
work properly.
I'll wait for new software versions that support natively alsa and
dmix.. meanwhile I use two separate non mixed soundcards.

But that configuration doesn't use only dmix. It uses dmix and dsnopp
together with asym and gives you two software mixed and fullduplex
cards.
By default is it configured in that way?
Yes, just use the "default" device. However it does not yet work with
USB devices.
Does anyone tried to modify the alsa-oss module to do some software
mixing? (to be able to use without aoss or arts hacks, vmware, skype,
audacity and many other softwares)
The in-kernel OSS emulation will never support software mixing. The
short term solution is aoss, the long term solution is to encourage
those apps to support ALSA (or a cross platform API like JACK or
PortAudio) natively.
Audacity will support ALSA and JACK natively in the next releae.
Skype is still a problem, please ask them to add ALSA support.
vmware I don't know about.
Are you saying none of these work with aoss for you?

Great!!! It works!
Could anyone post to the alsa wiki this (corrected) asound.conf for
example?
That ALSA wiki is completely wrong. Most of the information on it needs
to be removed.
Dmix should "Just Work" with no need to create an .asoundrc since ALSA
1.0.9.
There's a fat note at the top which says:
NOTE: For ALSA 1.0.9rc2 and higher you don't need to setup dmix.
Dmix is enabled as default for soundcards which don't support hw
mixing.
Feel free to make this even clearer and to correct any mistakes in the
rest of the document. Personally I don't use dmix so I admit that I'm
not really up to date with the current situation.
