I still cannot resolve issue by myself. 1.x version refuses to share soundcard with other applications, while 1.0.x works just fine! It does not depend on using PortAudio or Direct ALSA in 1.x! If pjsua 1.8 runs first than it grabs sound device and an application which starts after can not play. If the other application runs before pjsua - pjsua cannot play. Which does NOT happen with pjsua 1.0.3 in same conditions with same alsa and other applications... sound card is HDA_intel which DOES support hardware mixing and should work out of the box with no need for "dmix" software mixing handlers or anything like that... If anyone has ideas how to fight this i would be really appreciated! Thank you.
