I was waiting with baited breath after your chat on IRC as to what your solution would actually be! I like it! I think the overhead at initialisation is probably OK, although I guess it depends on how an application works - e.g. if it constant opens and closes alsa connections then does this overhead mount up? If not then this looks like a good solution. That said Lennart has said in the past that he didn't like the idea of Alsa automatically falling back to h/w access if pulse isn't responding. (this was in reference to tweaking the alsa plugin itself, rather than this approach which is slightly different conceptually, albeit with the same end goal). I think his comment at the time was "it masks configuration problems". Do you have any thoughts on this Lennart? Col
