PulseAudio does it's own mixing and it's not really configurable. You can run PA on top of dmix but there is virtually no benefit and lots of drawbacks (like breaking any kind of timer-based scheduling and adding unnecessary overhead). Resampling is a different story, but you didn't ask about that :D Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
