Thanks Dave,
Mixing has never worked. API is too complicated, causing lots of
malfunctioning software. A zillion different ways to configure more
than one card (thats the distributions fault, but it should have been
handled by ALSA in the first place). Setting the default device
is complicated, and there are no good default device. Glitches.
After about 10 years of frustration, I'm a
bit tired of alsa.
Does anyone know if OSS supports proper software mixing?
Is the alsa emulation working somewhat okay?
Are there any problems configuring the machine to use more than one card?
Hi Kjetil,
Despite the convincing advertising, the last time I tried to install OSS it
just plain didn't. It was enough of a PITA for me to forget about it.
What's your problem with ALSA ? Are you frustrated with it as a dev or a
normal user ?
A normal user. Sorry, wrong mailing list.
