Hi there, After some discussion on the ALSA-devel list, it appears that you may be the only one who knows anything about the mythical 'smix' plugin that might allow myself and others to get more functionality out of soundcards that do not support multi-open capability in hardware.
I was wondering if you could let me know what the status of this plugin is, and if it might be possible to get it put into the official ALSA tree so that some progress might be made on it, or that at least some documentation more than 'unknown reference' might be added to the ALSA docs, which would at least reduce the confusion over the availability of this capability. I understand you are busy, so please consider this as a polite request for you toadd the smix plugin to ALSA, as it would make my life much easier when trying to run multiple software synths on linux via my cm8738 card, and also provide a 'definite' piece of code to work on for others who may be interested in this capability. As it stands, every time anyone asks about 'software multi-open' they are directed either to the 'share' plugin which clearly does not work in this capacity, or told that you have once got the smix plugin to work, and that it is all anyone knows. This has the effect of discouraging an alternate implementation, and it would seem silly to rewrite something that has already been written. I would be immensely grateful if you would take pity on us poor confused ALSA-using musicians, and release your smix plugin code into the ALSA tree. Thanks for your time, and the great work on ALSA-libs.
