Then PulseAudio is the wrong way to fix the problem. The right way is to get hardware that can do this. Playing multiple streams isn't exactly anything new, all but the very cheapest of the cheap supports playing multiple streams these days. This problem is most easily and reliably fixed in hardware, not software. > so how do i setup my system to play multiple streams with ALSA? i'm > sure it is being done by someone, but i couldn't find a simple guide to > do so before i started this Pulseaudio adventure. > If your hardware is capable of it, ALSA will do it right out of the box. Your problem using bare ALSA is that the hardware isn't capable in this case.
