Hi there, i subscribed to alsa-user especially to get this question answered:
When I used alsa in earlier stages i needed to run "artsd" to get simultaneous playback (e.g. for xmms and some sound events...) But suddenly my alsa driver seem to support multiple writes on /dev/dsp as well! However, this is not true for every sound card: SB Live + Maestro3 does, but I810 doesn't. Now my question: What does this functionality depend on? Is it in fact possible for every sound card supported by ALSA, it would just need to be implemented, or is it an hardware isse, that some cards will and some won't. How to check, which card, that ALSA is supporting, does offer this functionality? (I searched the docs, yes!) Or is it maybe a matter of time and coding to get all cards supported, which would be a great step forward!?? thanks in advance for every single reply, greetings Katakombi >8^) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
