As of a certain version of alsa, I know alsa includes and uses dmix by default. Before that version, I believe you had to apply dmix as a patch to the alsa code. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the version number was for this switch over. I do however recall Janina posting that info a few times to this list, the last time being not too long ago I believe, maybe even as part of this thread, or as a part of the advantages of a hardware synth thread. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Greg On Thu, Nov 16, 2006 at 01:18:27PM -0700, Steve Holmes wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: RIPEMD160 > > Is dmix a separate package or something?
