Yes, tried, fixes ;-) However I suggest that a pointer to user documentation for ALSA be added to the Help. For example I have a problem when I run XMMS, Skype says something like "can't open /dev/dsp" and don't know where to start. The only thing I know is that 1) I have ALSA turned on and 2) I want to know how to make it accept more data streams from the programs and mix them together.
