you shouldn't be having that problem with fc4t2 as i was under the
impression it used dmix (alsa software mixing) by default. if you
aren't using fc4t2 you need to add something like:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "swmixer"
}
pcm.swmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 44100
}
}
to your $HOME/.asoundrc file and it wouldn't hurt to configure your apps
to use ALSA.
