Could you try the attached patch? If you add a line 'slowptr yes' to your dmix pcm definition, the snd_pcm_delay() function should be more precise.
It seems to work perfectly, thank you very much!
I have to take that back. :(
I had put the slowptr in the wrong place (in the dmixer slave pcm block), and xine silently fell back to using /dev/dsp (alsa-oss doesn't seem to work with it). With the slowptr in the right place, I have now verified that xine uses ALSA with it enabled, but it doesn't seem to enhance sound quality much if at all.
Sorry for the false confirmation. Any other ideas?
Yes, I've tested xine with dmix today and I figured after several hours of looking for totaly another problem, that it was 'snd_pcm_wait()' function which causes trouble in conjunction with the xine ALSA code algorithm.
The result patch (attached to this mail and available also in CVS) is that
xine works with dmix even without the slowptr option! So there is no reason to make this option as default.
I'm happy that the next direct plugin related bug is solved.

Thank you very much for your efforts to help xine work with alsa.
So, the problem was a bug in alsa?
As you have obviously looked very hard now at the xine code, would you have any recommendations for any changes?
Cheers James
