Hi, In fact I expected such an answer but I would like not use jack or pulse if not necessary. If the asus xonar essence stx is able to mix sources there's no need to use more only enable it. Moreover if alsa is able to do the mix softly no need to had anything to the system. In this case you'll tell me simply to read carefully the xonar stx documentation or how to set up dmix for this card. Anyway it would be much more comfortable if someone already has experience with taht whol stuff and can tell me.
