ALSA 0.9.6 already supports the ALC650, you don't need to install the Realtek driver. > From what I know, it seems that ALSA, the Realtek driver, or > something else is blocking multiple openings of /dev/dsp, possibly > because something thinks my card cannot handle mixing of multiple > channels internally; I'm pretty sure that my card can. An AC'97 codec handles only one audio stream. Mixing of audio streams would be the task of the AC'97 controller, which is part of the chipset's southbridge. Intel, SiS and nVidia southbridges don't mix; some recent VIA southbridges do support hardware mixing (of four streams), but this doesn't work on many motherboards.
