I want alsa to mix all inputs in software, (given that I doubt my SB AWE32 supports hardware mixing).
This page: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php3?module=sbawe#why
under 'Software mixing', seems to think there is a 'dmix' 'PCM' device declared in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, which there quite clearly, is not.
Does anyone have the knowhow to get this functionality out of alsa. I think they have gone for the way too complex for it's own good, methodology of config files :)
Running: aplay -Dplug:dmix <music file> gives:
ALSA lib pcm.c:1814:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM dmix aplay: main:462: audio open error: No such file or directory
quality.
Putting this in my ~/.asoundrc file:
pcm.test {
type dmix
ipc_key 1436 # must be unique for all dmix plugins!!!!
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
}
}.. then calling aplay with: aplay -Dplug:test <music file> gives:
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:109:(snd_dlsym_verify) unable to verify version for symbol _snd_pcm_dmix_open
ALSA lib pcm.c:1788:(snd_pcm_open_conf) symbol _snd_pcm_dmix_open is not defined inside (null)
aplay: main:462: audio open error: No such device or address
Anyone? :)
