Hi all,

Another (minor) issue I'm having with ALSA is that the digital output is
shut down when no sound is playing.  When the digital output is shut
down, my external amplifier loses sync and displays "unlock" on its display.

The problem with this is that when I play a sound again, it takes a
couple of seconds for the amplifier to regain sync, so I'm always
missing the first couple of seconds of sound - and notification sounds
like incoming e-mails/IMs are as good as silent, as they've finished
playing by the time the amplifier syncs again.

Is it possible to either have the dmix plugin *not* release the audio
device when no sound is being played, or to tell the Intel HDA driver
not to shut down the digital output when the audio device has been closed?

Thanks,
Adam.
