I'd be grateful if a few members would tell me if the lastest release of their choice of distro comes with Alsa configured with dmix, i.e. to allow multiple connections at once. I get the impression it's got a lot more common, but never know how widespread the implementation actually is.
I have an Ubuntu 5.1 live CD that I use occasionally that has dmix configured out of the box. Archie 0.4.1 also had dmix working on one computer here but not another so :/ I'm running Frugalware on one machine that has a Nforce chipset and I use the nvsound driver for that but I just set up another box to be a MythTV machine using Frugalware that uses the hda-intel audio driver and I just tried and it seems to have dmix on by default too.
