The problem:
1. Played Chris's JACK video. "dmix" is my "pcm.!default" in
asoundrc
and this works great, so mplayer does not block other ALSA/OSS audio.
Other ALSA/OSS apps can still access the device.
2. Now, when his video tutorial suggested I tried starting JACK to
follow along. It fails to connect for me whether I direct jackd to
use to my "default", hw:0, or to my named dmix pcm directly.
One solution is to pre-connect the vdeo audio to JACK via a jackplug
or "jacklaunch", but if the video is already playing, no dice.
You can actually get jackd to work with dmix, you just have to use
matching ALSA parameters (default or plug:dmix or something device,
samplerate, buffersize etc) for jack and run in playback-only-mode

In any case, the other reason I chimed in was to thank
you for your
work. The newest version of the JACK video is especially well done
and I think new users in particular will benefit.
If your card doesn't support hardware mixing then just use dmix. What's
the problem?
