Which audio subsystem should they support? ALSA
direct access is no choice because it blocks the device. DMIX
is a choice, but what if I want to use JACK simultaneously
without using DMIX?
Is that realistic ? Would you do any serious audio work and
leave all the desktop toys enabled *on the same card* ?
(I don't have any 'desktop' sounds, so for me it's easy :-)
JACK could become a common audio server but still it
isn't.
Any recommendation which audio system a programmer should
use?
For any serious music and audio software there is (for me)
just one answer: JACK, and maybe also ALSA.
For all the rest I think ALSA's dmix device is the right
solution.
