speaker-test -D hw:2,0 -c 6 gives the same results as with -D nx51, so
ALSA seems to be intelligent enough to duplicate only 2-channel streams.
the bad thing, I noticed while playing around with speaker-test, is
that the card seems not to be able to play 2 streams in the same time.
While xmms is playing, speaker-test gives me 'device busy' - no matter
which device I choose, hw:2,0 or nx51.
I though, dmix is not needed anymore (or is setup'ed automagicaly)?
With
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave.pcm nx
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
in asound.conf, I can hear 2 sounds the same time, but not in fake5.1.
Damn things that are :(
