Re: [LAD] Is there a Linux Software Mixer?

Bingo! I've been playing with this and got it working using "aplay" on my embedded platform. I can play two tracks simultaneously now and hear them both. In order to get it working I had to resolve a configuration problem by adding "/etc/asound.conf" and I copied one from a posting: pcm.playback { type dmix ipc_key 2048 ipc_key_add_uid true ipc_gid 1 slave { rate 44100 pcm hw:0 } } The "ipc_gid" parameter was giving me trouble until I did this. My aplay command works when I use "-D playback" on both commands. Simple for you guys maybe, but quite a thrill for me :) I tried to run my squeezeslave client this way too, but it wants to go straight and hog the /dev/dsp interface. So when I try running my aplay while squeezeslave is up I get "audio open error: Device or resource busy". And Squeezeslave only supports numbers when specifying output devices. Run it with the -L option and you see Output Devices: * 0: /dev/dsp I'm inclined to try and alter squeezeslave to accept an argument like aplay's -D. Failing that, ... ... I might give this a try Thanks for the help! Rory
