Hello list, I've setup vdr with the xine plugin and am very impressed, but I can't seem to control it's audio independently of other audio apps. I want a setup where I can mute the vdr-xine DVB audio and load / listen to an audio CD / mp3 / DVD. I'm using Ubuntu Breezy and when I change the volume in xine / vdr-xine it seems to alter volume of any other audio apps eg totem. Infact it seems to alter the PCM level in alsamixer. I don't know a great deal about alsa, but I've read about my soundcard (an ATI IXP, integrated on MSI RS480M2 motherboard) and apparently it doesn't support hardware mixing and I need to use the dmix plugin. Well I tried that, and it works with alsaplay, but I can't get xine to use the dmix plugin. Has anyone got any ideas? -RichardW.
