I don't know what problems from dmix you encountered or what you've heard of -
also I don't have knowledge of the internals (so I don't know what 'hack'
you're talking about).. Dmix is making a huge difference for me, compared
with other user space mixing apps like arts. I just don't notice it, I just
don't have to care about it..
I quit windows for other reasons than sound mixing. Said, I don't know how MS
accomplishes that sound mixing works that good without any manual
configuartion even on soundchips that only support a single channel, and I
don't care about it.. I really don't know what you meant with that abandon
argument..
It works for me, so I thought I'd give a suggestion that would help others..
