A new page on Dmix

[Jean Piché]

Significantly more info than was previsouly availlable:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/Dmix

from the page:

"For ALSA 1.0.9rc2 and higher you don't need to setup dmix. Dmix is  
enabled as default for soundcards which don't support hw mixing."

A caveat from the same page:

"Also, you should keep in mind, that software mixing is possible  
only, if all signals are at the same sample rate. So, if you want to  
play DVD's, which use 48kHz sample rate for audio, with this kind of  
plug, everything will be downsampled to 44.1kHz. Unfortunatelly it  
does'nt work wery well (there are some syncronization problems with  
some players). In this case you have two opportunities, either use a  
separate plug (and loose ability to playback mp3 and dvd on the same  
time) or tell your DVD player to sample audio down to 44.1khz, for  
example:

mplayer -af resample=44100"
