I'm getting some strange results with ALSA on my work machine. Running kernel 2.6.6, (snd_intel8x0 module) ALSA works just fine. Unfortunately, the ALSA device seems to have decided to become a FIFO. I can send 10 audio clips to it simultaneously, but they get played back in the order they were received. This has the unfortunate side effect that if I'm listening to a song on XMMS, I won't hear any sounds until after the current song ends.
I had thought that all ALSA drivers had support for multiple audio streams. Is this not the case? On my home PC, using kernel 2.6.4 and ALSA (emu10k1 module) I can play multiple streams at once with no problems. Any ideas?
