I asked about this in the xine-list, and someone suggested trying
disabling "dmix" in alsa, if I was using it. I didn't know if I was
using it, but after some googling, I came to the conclusion that this
has been enabled by default in the latest alsa-lib release (am I right?)
I'd like to try the suggestion I was given, that is, I'd like to
disable the dmix plugin. But I have no clue on how to do that, and I
couldn't undertand _anything_ from the zillion files that are
installed in /etc/alsa :(

AFAIK dmix is enabled by default, but not used. To make my laptop use
dmix (because it hasn't got hardware mixing) I had to make a file called
~jan/.asoundrc.
The intel8x0 soundcard doesn't support hardware mixing via ALSA, so if
dmix were disabled, I wouldn't have any mixing at all (i.e., my system
wouldn't be able to play more that one sound at a time).
I don't have any .asoundrc in my home directory, and I'm experiencing
sound mixing... so dmix is enabled using some other more "global"
(distro) config.
¿Does anybody know how this is accomplished in Fedora Core 4, and how
could I temporaly disable it? ¿Is there any setting to let dmix software
mixing coexist with analog 5.1 sound?
