Well, that is good to hear Janina ... I suppose I was just surprised at such
a task being difficult. Not because of the nature of the task, but because
it doesn't seem to be a problem elseware.

Take care,
Sina

I wouldn't want to hazzard an opinion on the degree of difficulty, but it's
clearly been an issue for some time. Just as with modems (another "audio"
device), processing has been exported from chips on the card to the host
CPU. So whether it is difficult or straight forward simple, it does require
management and some software.

What I am saying is that the dmix in ALSA, beginning in ALSA 1.0.9 is
intended to address this.
