Hello, I am guessing this is a newbie question, but I couldn't find any
information about this on the Alsa webpage. The documentation is
fairly poor, in my opinion, as there is no good introductory document
for new users of Alsa.
I am using kernel 2.6.0-test4, which comes with Alsa 0.9.6. I decided
to make the switch to Alsa from OSS. The system is a Linux Mandrake,
with packages:
alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.7rc1_2mdk
libalsa2-0.9.6-2mdk
libalsa-data-0.9.6-2mdk
xmms-alsa-0.9.12-1mdk
alsa-utils-0.9.6-1mdk
I have read that one of the features of Alsa is that multiple sound
sources can play at the same time. So, I have tried... but if a
program is playing audio, and I start a second one, this one will block
until I stop the first one. I have configured them both to use Alsa,
not OSS, as the audio output device.
So my question is: Do i have to configure Alsa in some way? Is it a
problem with the programs i am using? (xmms with xmms-alsa plugin, and
mplayer with alsa support).
Second question: is there some documentation about the /etc/asound.conf
file? I don't even know whether I need one or not. I dont have one in
my /etc.
Just in case... my card is: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02)
Audio works fine, if I only have one source at a time.
Any help is appreciated... thanks!
