Beginning with alsa 1.0.9, dmix is the default configuration. I would agree about keeping oss emmulation in alsa, as Adam says, for many years still. I don't know about zinf, but I can say I've stopped using it. mplayer is sufficient for me. Adam Myrow writes: > To put it bluntly, Zinf is the most bug-ridden piece of junk I've ever > encountered.
