The short version: I can't get more than one application to use sound at a time on Debian.
I thought it was about time I moved from OSS to ALSA, so I downloaded the ALSA packages, and they installed fine. I then disabled the OSS sound in /etc/discover.conf.
Now, according to lsmod | grep soundcore, I only have snd running (which, hopefully, means just ALSA is running)
So far, so good. However, I can't get sounds to play simultaneously - either it is just the one sound playing, or an application complains that there isn't an audio output available.
This is on Debian Sarge/Etch/Sid. Sort of a mix between the three.
I've tried using the following .asoundrc, to no avail:
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
rate 44100
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.
