NOTE: 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.
So why if I try to play 2 sounds at the same time, the second one complains the "resource is busy"? Shouldn't it detect that AD1988B can't do hardware mixing and use dmix automatically?
It does as long as the app uses the "default" PCM. The dmix isn't forced to be applied. The exclusive hardware access is still available by opening the PCM as "hw", "plughw" and etc. So, if any apps access exclusively, others will suffer.
