dmix *is* an application, conceptually it is not different to esd, artsd or pulseaudio opening the ALSA hardware directly. It just happens to be an ALSA plugin and is a part of the signal chain that ALSA-lib sets up by default. You can either: a) configure dmix using a custom .asoundrc to use the rate you want and restart ALSA. b) configure an application that will open the sound card with the rate you want, and set it to open the sound device directly e.g. hw:0,0 in ALSA terms. The sample rate that is used is determined, plain and simple, by whichever application has exclusive control over the sound card. > > dmix isn't an application (it just mixes behind the scenes) but > basically, yes, that is how things work. > > And given that dmix is default these days (if the card doesn't support > hardware mixing that is) Sergei's notion of how things might work is > how things _do_ work in practice right now for anyone who doesn't care > enough about his audio to disable dmix. > > The first A in ALSA stands for "advanced" though and you can bet your > testicles that many "advanced" users do not look favourably upon > resampling and dmix... > > Rene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
