Hi, I am trying out a small project whereby I wanna transform my gentoo linux box (2.4.20-r5) into a linux dj rig. So far I have catalogued the bpms of all my mp3s with bpmdj, have an external mixer, but where I have hit a snag is configguring my system to see my 2 sound cards. My "primary" unit is an SB LIve and it runs smoothly under alsa. My second unit was initially an Aureal Vortex unit but the alsa drivers weren;t as "easy" to get going as the ones for an old SB Ensoniq 1370 that I had so I threw it in instead. And duly recopiled alsa with supoprt for both. I made changes to the /etc/modules.d/alsa, in the hope of getting devfs to create new nodes for the device...such as a second dsp and mixer....but as usual devfs is being a b*()*$ ..... does anyone know how I can get around my problems....or can anyone who has succesfullys set-up more than one soundcard in the same box give me any suggestons. Cheers Simon
