True, but "getting it to work" is actually quite well documented. One could use alsaconf or follow the descriptions on alsa-project.org for a specific card. With kernel 2.6 this will even get easier as more distributions will ship ALSA as default anyway, so there will be no need for a user to compile the drivers just because their distribtion doesn't provide ALSA modules. This dmix thing is something, people who have ALSA basically working ask, but it gets asked a lot. That's why it is important to now have it documented a bit deeper on the ALSA wiki. It also is something, that shows how ALSA is superior to OSS even for "normal" users, who just want to listen to mp3 while getting an alarm sound when mail arrives. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
