The way I solved this is to compile a kernel with the driver for my PCI card built-in, and the other drivers compiled as modules. Then dmix is used for my PCI card. But if you don't need the other sound devices and have everything compiled as modules, then you can simply blacklist those modules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
