One solution, although it's totally hacky is to have the login shell (or process, such as gdm in the case of a desktop login) create the .asoundrc in a non-shared dir like /tmp (say, .asoundrc-brian) on all machines and symlink ~/.asoundrc to the /tmp/.asoundrc-brian. But as I say this is a hack and something that I think libasound should handle more gracefully. It's interesting to note at this point that DG/UX had an interesting libc implementation where in portions of the filesystem namespace you could put env. vars in a pathname: PATH=...:/usr/lib/$ARCH/bin/cc:... so that your $PATH would resolve to a different location in the the filesystem of the machine you were on based on $ARCH in your environment. I don't think that was limited to $ARCH. I think any env. var worked. b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
