Hi folks,

I can't get oss apps working with dmix. The alsa device is working fine, for
example I can run multiple simultaneous instances of  "alsaplayer -o alsa -d
plug:dmix some.mp3" without problem. Then, my .asoundrc configuration for
oss dmix is:

pcm.dsp0 {
 type plug
 slave.pcm "hw:0"
}

ctl.mixer0 {
 type hw
 card 0
}

When no other application is using the soundcard, oss apps can write their
sound output just fine. But as soon as I run one of the plug:dmix alsaplayer
commands described above the sound device gets busy for these oss apps. So I
guess they are not going through dmix, as I expected from my configuration.

The loaded sound modules are:

lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_dummy           6020  0
snd_seq_oss            40704  0
snd_seq_midi           11648  0
snd_rawmidi            31872  1 snd_seq_midi
snd_seq_midi_event     10752  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi
snd_seq                67616  6
snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device         11284  5
snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq
snd_hda_intel          22556  4
snd_hda_codec         197632  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm_oss            52352  0
snd_mixer_oss          20992  2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                97544  4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              29192  3 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    72616  14
snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore              13984  2 snd
snd_page_alloc         12560  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

And the version of alsa I'm using is:

ii  alsa-base                             1.0.11-5ubuntu1
ALSA driver configuration files
ii  libasound2                            1.0.11-7ubuntu3
ALSA library

Any ideas of what could be happening here?

Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Carlos
