Yes, I was thinking probably dmix, since it should be able to give multiple snaps simultaneous audio. Of course, for a music-oriented device it'd be nice to have a jackd service instead, and many general-purpose devices get along well with pulseaudio. But for my personal use I've found alsa with dmix to be the most efficient and reliable option most of the time. -- Selene -- Snapcraft mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
