What's > the problem? The problem: 1. Played Chris's JACK video. "dmix" is my "pcm.!default" in asoundrc and this works great, so mplayer does not block other ALSA/OSS audio. Other ALSA/OSS apps can still access the device. 2. Now, when his video tutorial suggested I tried starting JACK to follow along. It fails to connect for me whether I direct jackd to use to my "default", hw:0, or to my named dmix pcm directly. One solution is to pre-connect the vdeo audio to JACK via a jackplug or "jacklaunch", but if the video is already playing, no dice. Kevin
