Alsa seems to have mixing on the alsa level, like any respectable unix sound implementation. I open mutiple programs that use sound, they all work together fine. Untill I open an old program. The BSDs have always have sound mixing in OSS and anything else. Alsa should have such too. -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 1/31/14, Bill Unruh <unruh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Subject: Re: OSS emulation doesn't allow mixing.

The original oss has not, whic his what alsa emulated because it was the dominant sound platform at the time. OSS however was being developed by a company, and AFAIK it has continued developing it. Note that ALSA also does have mixing on the alsa level. There are layers (jack, pulseaudio,....) above alsa which can be used for mixing, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
