The problem lies in the wrong way in which these apps try to use ALSA. I don't use XMMS anymore, but for mplayer I can say, that it tries to open hw:X devices and doesn't allow the user to specify a device by name. As dmix goes beyond and extends the capabilites of the hardware you're out of luck with these kind of apps unless the authors fix their mistakes. For a correctly written ALSA music player try alsaplayer. It works like a charm with dmix and since ALSA 0.9.7 it does so even on my M-Audio Audiophile card btw. You might have success with running these apps in OSS-mode and useing alsa-oss. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
