Yes... let me go ahead and re-hash this for those who don't want to read through the earlier email. Sagi and I have two different soundcards with somewhat similar, yet different, problems. (Ambigious enough?) His soundcard theoretically supports hardware mixing both in actual hardware and in the ALSA drivers, yet when he tries to open a second audio stream, the application attempting to do so simply hangs until the resource is free. I think he said his card was a GTXP... I am unfamiliar with it. My soundcard also supports hardware mixing, but only in the hardware.. not in the ALSA drivers. Perhaps two threads would be ideal. Oh well. I'm running on an nForce board using its integrated audio. The drivers nVidia provided (for OSS) simply consisted of an Intel i810 audio patch. I guess y'all on the ALSA team were able to utilize the nVidia-released patch and do the same thing to the ALSA i810 drivers. Anyway... Sagi needs to know how to get the multiple streams working on his card, globally. I need to know if it is possible to get the nForce (using the patched i810 driver) to support hardware mixing so I can send many audio streams to it at once. I have basically no programming experience, but may have a few friends who could help me if I had some clue of the how or the why of it. Alternatively, since I cannot afford to send anybody hardware... if somebody was really interested in working on this, I could give you ssh access and work with me, here, physically... but I don't know how useful or feasable such a thing would be. Anyway... input on either or both topics by you guys who really know what you're doing would be much apperciated! :-) Rob ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
