I have a soundblaster live in my basement in another state :-( I don't think with the processor I have, software mixing will be a big slow-down considering I rarely use over 30% of the processor. Why does this junk have to be done on a program-by-program basis? It should be some global setting that you could perhaps override by program, but has the same setting program-by-program by default. Like: [X] Override default sound daemon [ eSound ] Whereas you woulud have chosen eSound as a global setting within preferences.
