I experimented with xmms ALSA output plugin and i forced "default" instead of "hw:0:0" to the audio opening command:As I wrote some day ago, it is possible to play two or more sounds simultenaously with mentioned setting. But only with 'aplay'
I tried to use xmms with ALSA 0.9 output plugin and Mplayer with ALSA-0.9.x support and it is impossible to play any two sound streams at the same time (i tried two xmms, xmms + mplayer, xmms + asound, mplayer + asound and two mplayers, but only the first played and the second was stopped until the first finished or breaked).
Where can be problem?
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.
snd_pcm_open ( &handle, "default", SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, SND_PCM_NONBLOCK );
but a error occured. I would like to ask you, if it is sufficient to change it only, or if there must be other changes when opening device? And why there is a possibility to force opening mode by application, instead of offering interface which does not enable it and leave user to decide if to use mixer or not. Otherwise there is still possibility of "forcing ideas" by applications until they will be rewritten (if they will at all).
Thank you very much,
Dan
