[alsa-devel] Software mixing according to priority of streams

[Nobin Mathew]

Yes i have multiple applications.

say mplayer for audio stream.
bluetooth app for bluetooth sco stream
RoadNav for GPS navigation voice data

priority we require is

mplayer < RoadNav < bluetooth sco

so when bluetooth sco apps starts no more mplayer stream data should
go to codec till the sco app stops.
