hmm, wasn't aware that ALSA did user-space mixing by default, that's a nice touch. > The only solution is to get the apps upgraded to support ALSA.

There was no documentation that I could find. I'll see if it helps anyway. Failing that, I rather suspected that using alsa-aware aps would be the solution to this particular problem. Any thoughts from anyone on my compile problems? The EMU10K1X card is a bit flakey and I know there have been updates to that driver since 1.0.11RC1, but I can't get more recent releases to compile.
