You might want to upgrade to 0.9.1 and use the dmix plugin. It does mixing of multiple sound streams inside of ALSA. You can select it as a device like the "default" or "hw:0" PCMs, you might know already. It somehow like $ aplay -D dmix some_long.wav & $ aplay -D dmix another.wav I don't remember the exact syntax at the moment... ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
