Package: libasound2 Version: 1.0.16-2 According to the Debian Wiki, libasound2 has automatically enabled the dmix plugin for sound cards which do not support hardware sound mixing since version 1.0.10-2. (See http://wiki.debian.org/ALSA under the heading "Sharing a card among multiple processes".) Well, here we are at version 1.0.16-2, and dmix was not set up during installation. I installed on an IBM ThinkPad 600, which has a built-in CS4237B sound chip, which does not support hardware mixing. The wiki refers to an example file, /usr/share/doc/libasound2/examples/asound.conf_dmix, which can serve as an example of how to configure dmix manually, but the entire examples directory no longer exists under /usr/share/doc/libasound2.
Please either change the wiki to document how to set this up manually, or, better yet, fix the regression of a previous feature of libasound2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
