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^)
