Hum, about the "maturity" of dmix - I cant realy comment on it. All I know is, that it should be possible to do what I am suggesting eventualy. Since I am not a coder I dont have any idea on the restrictions/limitations of the current dmix implementation, and how hard it is to overcome them. All I know is: Its possible, and you are the best guys on the job, so you can do it =). It would (in my opinion) be the biggest achievment in easiness to setup soundcards since many years. And its worth some effort to make it work. How dmix would handle a single stream - I dont know why it should be modified by dmix. But appart from that, the "smartdmix" would just pass through single soundstreams, they wouldnt ever get near any dmixing...
