I can't get oss apps working with dmix. The alsa device is working fine, for example I can run multiple simultaneous instances of "alsaplayer -o alsa -d plug:dmix some.mp3" without problem. Then, my .asoundrc configuration for oss dmix is:
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
When no other application is using the soundcard, oss apps can write their sound output just fine. But as soon as I run one of the plug:dmix alsaplayer commands described above the sound device gets busy for these oss apps. So I guess they are not going through dmix, as I expected from my configuration.
The loaded sound modules are:
lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_dummy 6020 0
snd_seq_oss 40704 0
snd_seq_midi 11648 0
snd_rawmidi 31872 1 snd_seq_midi
snd_seq_midi_event 10752 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi
snd_seq 67616 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 11284 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq
snd_hda_intel 22556 4
snd_hda_codec 197632 1 snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm_oss 52352 0
snd_mixer_oss 20992 2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 97544 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 29192 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd 72616 14 snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 13984 2 snd
snd_page_alloc 12560 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
And the version of alsa I'm using is:
ii alsa-base 1.0.11-5ubuntu1 ALSA driver configuration files
ii libasound2 1.0.11-7ubuntu3 ALSA library
Any ideas of what could be happening here?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Carlos
