Not one that works. I've played with it a bit, but even when I can get it to work, xmms hangs after 3-5 songs. What I've done is put this in my .asoundrc: # use this by specifying plug:mydmix pcm.mydmix { type dmix ipc_key 4234 # must be unique for all dmix plugins!!!! slave { pcm "hw:0,0" } } Then in xmms' alsa configuration, specify a user-defined audio device "plug:mydmix" but, as I said, it doesn't work reliably.
