Hi,
Fundamental question - Does alsa support multiple applications generating
audio all at the same time?
Yes. But the code is not written. JACK is the only option for low
latency. There are plans to make artsd jackified but noone has started
on it ASFAIK.
Specifically, is it possible to run one or more OSS
applications, with
one or more Alsa applications, and jack enabled applications all at the same
time?
Not unless the oss apps can connect through jack which is possible but
the code has not been written
I think possibly not, but if not, is there some
combination that does
work, like 1 Alsa + all the jack apps, etc?
Thanks very much,
Mark
