Hi!
Thanks for the "channels 6" tip. I forgot to copy it (I had to do typeit manually). Here's the new asoundrc (for those who are interested):
----
# firstpcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "softvol"}
# secondpcm.softvol { type softvol slave { pcm "dmix" } control { name "Master" card 0 }}
# thirdpcm.dmix { type dmix ipc_key 1024 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" rate 48000 channels 6 period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_time 0 buffer_size 4096 }}
----
I just reversed the order of the softvol and dmix plugin to test whetherit works. Unfortunately, it doesn't. If I try to use a dmix device whichhas a non-hardware slave, I get the error:
"ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:869(snd_pcm_dmix_open) dmix plugin can be onlyconnected to hw plugin"
The reason must be the way the plugin works internal. I think the multiplugin has a comparable limitation (that's only a guess, I don't geterrors, just no sound).
