Hello,

My card info is located at

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d6bbe91bcecbd84f4f9b689871a7fe208c5d9440

This is the sound card that equips all Samsung NC10 netbooks, by the
way.

Pulseaudio has been uninstalled and completely deactivated.

The big issue that I have is that dmix simply doesn't work; I can play
sound with one application, but trying to have a second application use
sound will fail all the time.

For example, if I start mplayer while an application is already using
the sound, I get this:

[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1321:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p 
failed: Device or resource busy
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Device or resource busy
Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

Here's the part of my kernel config dedicated to sound (if not
mentioned, anything else is NOT set):

CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y
CONFIG_SND_VMASTER=y
CONFIG_SND_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_SND_PCI=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=y

You may notice that I have not selected any OSS option - I don't have
any apps relying on it anyway.

What is exactly the issue? Is it due to hardware limitation, the new
realtek patch for ALC272, or a broken alsa setup?

As well, why don't I get any PCM control in alsamixer?

Thank you.
