I cant realy believe it :P. If they wanted to have maximum quality, they shouldnt open more soundstreams than their hardware can handle... > anyway, it's just a concern. the answer for this question would be > just a questionary to users (and a good documentation or user-friendly > GUI tool to configure). well, at least I get your point now :). Maybe add a option that enables bypass of smart dmix for a device...but the default should be to use smart dmix, as most users I know wish to play the sounds that the applications they open play...
