right now, just to get the sounds out of all the apps running my setup is
something like this:
,______,
gstreamer(AOSS)-| CARD |
artsd-v | |----Amp
jack-^------| |
* other ALSA---|______|
* one at a time pls
luckily the card can mix 8 channels down to 2 in hardware, so everything can
connect at once, but wtf? how would a normal user do this? i strongly disagree
with 'just use two cards'.. its already a nightmare beacuse gstreamer wants to
use OSS emulation on the same channel as mplayer32 (which i could get around by
running a second jackd in 32bit mode, connecting to mplayer32 and communicating
with the 64bit jackd via UDP over loopback), etc etc. i have to randomly quit
apps to free stuff up and keep a mental note of which API each uses even with
the additional hardware mixing..
luckily i have one free hwmix port left, to add this "polypsaudio" tumor..
