[gentoo-user] Problems when more than one application uses sound
Hi, I'm using alsa, and i can't use the sound simultaneously by more than one application, for example, when i'm seeing flash animations on firefox, xmms can't output sound. How can i solve this? Cheers, Felipe -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

See http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_Complete_(includes_dmix) Actually current versions (since 1.0.10, I think) of alsa activate the dmix plugin by default. No .asoundrc necessary. In fact, Felipe, if you have a ~/.asoundrc file, you may find that alsa works better without it. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
