Hi,
I am trying to get dmix to work for me. My understanding is that dmix is
the solution for user space daemons. If I use dmix, I don't have to use
those daemons (esd). Also, as many applications that I want can open
/dev/dsp without blocking. Is all of this true?
So far, my .asoundrc looks like
pcm.cmipci {
type hw # Kernel PCM
card 0 # Card Number
device 0 # Device Number
}
pcm.cmipci {
type dmix # Direct mix
ipc_key 777 # unique IPC key
slave cmipci
}
ctl.cmipci {
type hw
card 0
}
I can run this command 'aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav' on multiple terminals
and I do hear both.
My question is, how does all of this relate to non alsa applications? I
want to be able to use xmms, mozilla, and teamspeak all at once. It
still seems that, even with my current setup, only 1 instance of
/dev/dsp can be opened. Is there configuration problem?
Also, what about /dev/mixer, how does that relate to all of this?
Any answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Rossi
