No problem, but next time, remember snip a bit from my email. My emails
are too damn long to be quoted in full! ;->
I just tried setting my 'mono' and 'stereo' audio devices in xine to
"dmixer", and didn't seem to have any problem with it. This is not what
I normally do though...I setup the default alsa device to be "dmixer"
with an entry like this in my ~/.asoundrc file:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
This way every alsa application uses dmixer...no app-specific
configuration required.
But, are you by any chance using something greater than "stereo 2.0"
speaker configuration in xine (5.1 surround, for example?).
