Like what? I play media stuff of all kinds without GStreamer even
installed.
what happens when your card doesn't have dmix, and gstreamer is
already playing a stream at 48khz to hw:0,1, and another app wants to
play a 44.1 khz beep to the same output. does it via some mutex/IPC
magic switch over to software mixing the two streams, without
requiring a resident sound daemon? if so, i'd consider that a solved
problem that nobody else wanted to tackle..
I don't know. I seem to have no problems hearing beeps from one app
while some other one is playing a video or music ... just using ALSA here.
