Problems with SI7012 on simulated 3 stereo channels and dmix

["Robert Rozman" <rozman@fri.uni-lj.si>]

Hi,

I'm trying for over a month to get dmix working on 3 separate stereo
channels on SI7012 device but no success. I just get scrambled sound when
two apps (with same or different sample rate) are trying to access same
device (plug:a, b or c for example).

I'm attaching my asound.conf. On dmixer device everything works ok, but when
I try to run two instances of Alsaplayer on plug:a device I get scrambled
sound as long as instances are running - if I stop one of them - sound gets
OK. This all happens also of two different sample rate files are palyed on
same device.

Since I'm newbie to asoundrc magic, I kindly ask for any guidance - I'd love
to get this working...

Regards,

Robert
