PulseAudio is the future: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ There is a presentation linked to off of their site that lists the limitations of other solutions, such as ALSA dmix. I use it, it's quite nice--Zeroconf support for network-transparent sound. Which is nice when you want to play a video on your laptop and get sound output through a stereo hooked up to your desktop box. :) Best yet it has support for emulating ESD, right down to it's API and wire protocol. > A -- Andrew J.
