Summary: artsd-like style
Description:
i'd like to know if that's a roadmap to let alsa drivers have a artsd (or
windows) style, i mean, multiple streams at once.

that could be very important for example using skype voip and listening
music at the same time.

i haven't undestood if the problem (only in mono) is fixed with another
patch (and so, please submit here) or if it already works actually.

how to check the dmix mono setting?

however i submitted a skype ticket linking this thread, as soon as i got
an answer i'll post here, hoping to fix this problem as soon as
possibile.

the question is: shouldn't skype have the same problem with pure oss
driver? i mean..if it assume mono and not stereo without checks, what's
the difference with dmix?

this is what i thought when i opened this bug, dmix is not fully
transparent to applications, or, apart the init bug, it should let apps
work as pure oss access.
i'm not an alsa expert, never read the code, i may fail of course, but
this is my suspect.

good work.

aoss.patch - this will make skype work in mono mode. You need to put
channels 1 to dmix.conf and dsnoop.conf.

In pure oss mode skype ask for mono 48000 kHz and it got this. In dmix it
got 48000 but stereo.
