Are there any plans on making the dmix plugin the default alsa interface? Since most soundcards don't support hardware mixing it seems like most people would love this as a default choice. I suppose it would be ideal if the oss emulation could also be piped through dmix. Unfortunately, I have yet to make any of my alsa-enabled apps work with dmix. But I'm still excited! :) Thanks, -Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
