Hey With linux there is always more than one way to go about it all.
In reference to your first question. There is a program called mixxx (emerge mixxx) and it always you to mix two audio tracks..to a single sound card output..i don;t know if it supports other than mp3 cos that's all i play with it. Then if you want to use a hardware mixer u will definitely need at least 2 sound cards or some unit which has multiple outputs. Anyway two programs that are handy in sucha situation are bpmdj which comes with a beat rate analyzer and if really aimed at a kickasss dj setup. In additon what i do sometimes is run 2 simultaneous xmms instances (each one configged to talk to just one of my sound cards) and then route the two outputs to my hardware mixer and then to my amp. It took some time to get it to work, but it is mad sweet. Hope it helps :) Best Simon On Sat, 25 Oct 2003, Brett I.
