Package: sox
Version: 12.17.7-2
Followup-For: Bug #311118
Ah crap. According to something I ran across at:
---
http://music.columbia.edu/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2005-March/021793.html
it won't matter if sox is compiled with ALSA support or not with regards
to using dmix. This seems to be because sox is using the ALSA kernel
API directly instead of going through the libasound library.
Now if we can only convince the author of sox to use libasound
instead....
Sorry for the noise. ALSA support doesn't seem to matter either
way at the moment unless someone really wants to keep their kernel to a
minimum by not enabling the OSS emulation via ALSA. I just tried
building sox from the package source with ALSA enabled, and it seems to
work fine except for not being able to use dmix.
