Hi all, I have an audigy as first sound card in my box, a webcam as second sound card, and virmidi as third. This with gentoo, a 2.6.19-rt15 kernel and the in-kernel alsa drivers. I was trying to write a .asoundrc file in order to use some oss application with the alsa API. The result was at the sound from flash 9 (some kind of worst case scenario) when listening to http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/ConcertDetail.aspx?id=2229|3385 was hopping all the time, when it's hopping without any .asoundrc only when I open or close a windows or when I shift from a virual desktop to another one. So, I removed my .asoundrc and used arecord to record the stream. But I really want to use only one sound server with all my apps, ideally jack, otherwise alsa. Is it possible to configure dmix so at all the sound applications will use the same sound server by default, ideally jack, and without decreasing the performances as it was the case with my flash test? A sub question is about the rate_convert plugin on http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php My audigy card use 48kHz as internal sampling rate and a 16 bits internal format. Will a rate_convert plugin be necessary in order to increase the performances of the dmix plugin? The .asoundrc I used for my test was as follow: pcm.oss { type oss device /dev/dsp } pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1 1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:capture_1 1 alsa_pcm:capture_2 } } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1024 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } ctl.dmixer0 { type hw card 0 } Another issue is at the oss applications as audacity was not working with this file but only complaining about no sound device.
