Hi 2 all.
I've just read many discussions about kernelspace and userspace sound mixing. Both sides have their arguments, etc. But why not to implement both? If you don't want to rewrite something there's easy way: just create a driver for dummy sound card, that will perform kernelspace mixing and will use default sound card for sound output. Kernelspace mixing will be very usefull for example for oss kernelspace oss emulation (as you know, userspace one doesn't work for huge amount of apps), or for dumb apps, that open hw:0 device for sound and have no option to change output device. Please, think about your users ;) Let them decide which mixing they wants
Cheers, Vasily.
