The Windows sound driver does this in software for cards that can't do it in hardware. It introduces lots of latency. The unix way is to delegate that role to a separate program. We have several: esd, artsd, jackd. All three require an application that knows how to talk to them. esd is basically a toy; artsd is more sophisticated, but still not designed for low-latency performance. Jack is designed with professional studios in mind but it's new and there are very few applications that support it yet: ardour, ecasound, alsaplayer... that's about it. -- "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!" _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
