Hi
A question came up on my local (non-audio) lau: Is it possible to
automatically mix audio from different apps (desktop apps like firefox,
flash, skype, system sounds, stuff like that) with alsa. I tend to say
"yes" based on things I think I head mentioned here, but couldn't find
the posts, so I have to ask again. If possible, what does it take?

Yes and yes.
Yes, because for quite some time alsa defaults to using the dmix-plugin. And
since a much shorter time distributions seem to have picked this up.
And yes, because there are soundcards that allow for more then one app to open
the device at a time. SBLive for example allows 32 (or was it 64) opens and
the meastro3 chip allows 2 or 3 apps simultaneously.
Not to talk about some distributions thinking about adding a single-
soundserver/-system to circumvent a problem which was solved by alsa long ago
after the single-soundserver solution named aRts/esd didn't work out...
Have fun,
Arnold

As far as applications use the "default" device, the following
.asoundrc may work for you. it works lovely for me.
Cordially, Ismael
