So I've been trying to fix this problem for a while now, but I can't seem to
set up ALSA in a way to enable multiple sound sources at once (2 or more
apps/programs to use the soundcard simultaneously). Despite having a dmix
entry in /etc/asound.conf, it still refuses to work the way I intend it to.
And speaking of which, here's how my asound.conf looks like:
_____________________________________________________________________________
pcm.!default {
type hw
card PCH
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card PCH
}
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
}
defaults.pcm.rate_converter "speexrate_medium"
____________________________________________________________________________
And here's what 'aplay -l' gives me:

As you probably guessed, I'm using an integrated soundcard (that's on a
Intel B85 chipset), and I've set it to use the jack plug output instead of
the HDMI one.
Another issue that I'm having is that the sounds/music/etc that are supposed
to be outputted by Firefox, don't get played at all (like for example
add-ons that notify me when I get an e-mail, or HTML5 audio and/or video
players, or other such stuff). Curiously the flash player seems to be
unaffected by this issue, probably because it's stand-alone to the browser
itself.
Does anyone know a potential fix for this?
Somebody over on the Debian forums (which is my distro of choice) said that
I should remove the dmix section from the config file since he/she doesn't
need it and he/she can play sounds from multiple sources. I tried that but
it hasn't changed anything...
