4. How do I check that /etc/asound.conf and/or ~/.asoundrc are
actually being used?
Change something and see if ALSA responds to the change.
Sure that sounds simple enough, but I need something really really basic
that is guaranteed to work, because at the moment I still don't know if
alsa is ignoring those files or if the contents are wrong.
5. How can I force applications to use jack (at the least I need
xmms, vlc, mplayer and preferably flash)?
Seriously, don't use jack for apps like this. Jack is for pro-audio
related purposes. Yeah you might be able to get it to work, but
there's really no point.
There is if you've only got one PCM (i.e. no hardware mixing) like most
people- that is, unless you have another suggestion on how to do
software mixing.
Personal opinion: Audigy sucks. For that matter anything from
Creative sucks. They are locked internally at 48k, which is a pain in
the butt for pro-audio.
Hardware synths are a sick joke, the sound banks they load have to be
so small they sound awful.
That's worth knowing, thanks. There aren't many pcmcia sound cards on
ebay though. Creative Audigy 2 or Echo Indigo are the only ones I can
find. Is the echo indigo any good?
Thanks
Simon
