Well, I dunno, maybe me and my buddy are the only ones with this amount of trouble getting mixing working... But I tried 100 different things before this worked. Anyways, after these changes, I can play from two instances of XMMS or XMMS and Mplayer at the same time, no trouble. Yay!
Anyways, here's the configuration files I changed:
/etc/asound.conf :
| Code: | pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
|
~/.asoundrc :
| Code: | pcm.ossmix {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "ossmix"
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "ossmix"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
|
And finally in /etc/mplayer.conf, make sure you have this line somewhere :
After this, everything seems to be mixing fine. Lemme know how it works for you!

Thanks, been there, done that. As had my buddy this also wasn't working for. Kept hanging XMMS in other situations. This solution fixed it all for me. Thus the additional post.

OSS emulation doesnt mix at all for me.

mplayer will not accept that option for audio out.
| Code: | allucid:[blackmamba]$ mplayer -ao help

any ideas? I have intel8x0 on all of my machines and I can't get it to work completely (OSS emulation screws everything up) with dmix. |

Thanks! now that works.
Is dmix supposed to work with oss emulation or am I trying to configure something that's not possible? |
