Also, I should mention something that contradicts this. When I define
a "format" for dmix in /etc/asound.conf that my DAC doesn't like, no
ALSA apps will play sound. However, if I choose to output via OSS in
those apps, I get sound. Here is an example of an asound.conf that
causes apps set to ALSA to not play sound at all, and apps set to OSS
to play sound perfectly as always:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
format S24_LE
rate 96000
}
}
}
