Alsa seems to have mixing on the alsa level, like any respectable unix sound
implementation.
I open mutiple programs that use sound, they all work together fine.
Untill I open an old program.
The BSDs have always have sound mixing in OSS and anything else.
Alsa should have such too.

Thanks for the tip.
I remember using that years and years ago, It looks like it would work.
It's a shame that there isn't a way to configure alsa to do something like that
by default.
A friend of mine quit using linux and went to mac because of these sound issues.
He had used it for a few years
What you think should be the case doesn't really matter. The difference
between Linux and other *nix systems is that generally they use OSS as
they're standard sound framework, while Linux users alsa. If the
applications you use require OSS you are free to use OSS on your
installation, but
The unix way is that everything is a file. /dev/dsp follows this idea.
You write your output to the file, and there you go.
The BSDs follow this. It's thought of the OSS way because OSS got there first
and got to be the DigitalSignalProcessor , rather than some other
pack of drivers.
When Alsa is
And writing to a file should block other applications from writing to the
same file at the same time. Otherwise how do you know which version of the
file is correct.

Nope, sorry, that does not make any sense in the context of outputting sound.
You lose. Sorry boy.
I KNEW you were going to come out with THAT bullshit.
The BSDs, which are pure unix, don't see it that way when WRITING TO A DEVICE
INTERFACE!
It mixes. It is the correct way to do it. The way
The version of /dev/dsp?
What the fuck are you smoking, idiot.
Also your argument is inapplicable.
The BSDs do it the correct way that makes sence.
/dev/dsp mixes. You can send your data to that file and everything works.
See, computer files are a metaphor, a convenient way of thinking of

I feel the best way would be for alsa perhaps to be able to set what
/dev/dsp is in asound rc file (the one in /etc)
Like how you can configure everything else via that, plus mix, move etc
everything around.
What is your opinion.

Fine, I'll not be rude.
In the context of dsp, the file should not be lockable (it should silently
fail: ie even if a program thinks it locked that virtual file it did not, the
program shouldn't be informed of this as it might itself fail if it failed to
lock the file).
/dev/dsp should exist
It is absolute bullshit that /dev/dsp doe not mix. Bullshit. It's
been bullshit for 10 years.
I also agree (though in much more polite terms) that any emulation
of /dev/dsp should (if possible, mix). It would be great if
distributions had a /dev/dsp device node that resulted in mixed audio
