!!! Software Mixing With [ALSA]
-ALSA is dmixed by default
as of 1..9rc2 for the vast majority of consumer sound chipsets.
(Ubuntu Breezy was the
first version to benefit from this)
.
+You can get [
ALSA] to do software mixing for you without having to resort to something like esd(1). This
is done via the dmix plugin and
as [documented on the ALSA wiki | http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin]. As
of 1..9rc2, this is configured out of the box
for the vast majority of consumer sound chipsets. (The
first [Ubuntu]
version to benefit from this was Breezy
.)
