So all
the advice needed is "make sure you use the
latest ALSA".
That, and:
- make sure no applications use "hw:0,0" instead of
"default"
- if you use oss applications, make sure you use
libaoss (or am I wrong
here? does alsa pcm emulation use "default" as
well?)
- if you use jack, either accept jack through dmix,
or make sure you
_always_ run jack, and use tell all applications
that can to use jack,
and redefine the "default" device to be the "jack"
plugin for the other
applications.
Hi Maarten.
Thanks for bringing this up. The number of competing
sound standards on Linux makes for a very frustrating
time when you are a sound-newbie, so your efforts in
putting together a document with best-practice
recommendations to make stuff "simply-work" is very
much appreciated.
Agree++ . And it could (will) also become a very important documentation
to understand the existing mess.
Just my two centavos.
