Also mentioned in /usr/share/doc/libasound2/changelog.Debian.gz ;) > Well, here we are at version > 1.0.16-2, and dmix was not set up during installation. How did you checked this? > 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, No! Please read "in *prior* versions, look at /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. Of course yes. See again /usr/share/doc/libasound2/changelog.Debian.gz > Please either change the wiki to document how to set this up manually, > or Not needed. > better yet, fix the regression of a previous feature of libasound2.
