[LAD] Trying to understand mixer in ALSA API

[Zixns]

ok, last questions on the software mixer. On my linux distribution, i have
alsa with pulseaudio. i know that pulseaudio is doing software mixing. If I
remove pulseaudio, I can still do software mixing : which lib / program in
alsa is doing it ?
