I've never used a 64bit system on linux. Mixing has never worked properly with alsa, and thats the main cause of, at least my, frustration. However, what triggered the above message was actually that my new office machine has a graphics card with a hdmi sound card. The amount of work (paid by my employee) required to force the computer not to use that sound card as the default was what made me want to explore OSS instead of ALSA. Alsa is nice in various ways, but it's just too complicated. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
