Hi,
I'm using alsa, and i can't use the sound simultaneously by more than
one application, for example, when i'm seeing flash animations on
firefox, xmms can't output sound. How can i solve this?
Cheers,
Felipe

ALSA supports software mixing, but you have to create a proper asoundrc config
file to activate the dmix plugin. See

Actually current versions (since 1.0.10, I think) of alsa activate the
dmix plugin by default. No .asoundrc necessary.
In fact, Felipe, if you have a ~/.asoundrc file, you may find that
alsa works better without it.
