I didn't want to make that difference, but as
every mainboard nowadays
has a "decent" audio chip onboard and as every more demanding user
(the "professional") has a second card, too, why not just split
applications between those two?
right now, just to get the sounds out of all the apps running my setup is something like
this:
,______,
gstreamer(AOSS)-| CARD |
artsd-v | |----Amp
jack-^------| |
* other ALSA---|______|
* one at a time pls
luckily the card can mix 8 channels down to 2 in hardware, so everything can connect at
once, but wtf? how would a normal user do this? i strongly disagree with 'just use two
cards'.. its already a nightmare beacuse gstreamer wants to use OSS emulation on the
same channel as mplayer32 (which i could get around by running a second jackd in 32bit
mode, connecting to mplayer32 and communicating with the 64bit jackd via UDP over
loopback), etc etc. i have to randomly quit apps to free stuff up and keep a mental note
of which API each uses even with the additional hardware mixing..
luckily i have one free hwmix port left, to add this "polypsaudio" tumor..
Ciao
