Personally, I use dmix, although it can be a pain (lots of trial and
error) to get setup and working correctly. I also use artsd for KDE
applications (except for amarok, which works best with the xine engine),
by specifying pcm.dmixer as the output device for artsd in control panel.
If you are looking for a starting point for a dmix setup, my ~/.asoundrc
contains:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 2048
buffer_size 65536
rate 44100
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
