You want > mixing on your card? You got it. I've been following this discussion with some interest, to learn more about ALSA. I've been creating startup scripts for all of my sound-using applications which look like this: LD_PRELOAD=libaoss.so exec /usr/bin/alsaplayer "$*" I found that without libaoss.so preloaded, I wasn't getting software mixing at all. I'm constantly running an MP3 player, and with that library I can get sound alerts from other apps too. I don't understand exactly what you mean by ALSA mixing by default. I have the OSS Mixer API selected during kernel compiles. Is that what you are referring to?
