You are right on. I was actually using the command 'aplay -D plug:dmix yourfile.wav'. sorry about that. > > My question is, how does all of this relate to non alsa applications?

Does anyone know how to get OSS applications to use the aoss wrapper with dmix in order to get software mixing to work? Any help would be really appreciated. Does using dmix allow multiple applications to open /dev/dsp? What about /dev/mixer? It would be extremely helpfull to see a full example of how to set this up. I don't think there is such an example on the web.
