Great! This is just what I was waiting for. I guess it is thus possible to use several oss and alsa audio apps plus jack at the same time. > Currently it is only available with latest cvs so needs testing with > various apps to make sure it works as desired. I fetched and compiled it. The first instance of aplay works fine. The second instance gives up with the following message: player@adv:~$ aplay -Dplug:dmix stereo.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1434:(snd_pcm_dmix_initialize_poll_fd) unable to open timer 'hw:CLASS=3,SCLASS=0,CARD=0,DEV=0,SUBDEV=0' ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1583:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize poll_fd aplay: main:479: audio open error: Device or resource busy What's going wrong? Please note that I am only subscribed to the linux-audio-user-list. ra
