Is this not a case of hardware mixing? ymfpci has a hardware mixer, and if alsa supports that, then audio streams should be mixed by the sound hardware itself.
Of course, I could be entirely wrong. I don't know much about how hardware/software mixers interact, relate, or collide. I really don't know what I'm talking about. 8^) noah On Wed, Jan 03, 2001 at 05:34:49PM -0800, Joey Hess wrote: > I was astounded today when my laptop was able to play a mp3 while I was > running a game with sound effects.
