Second - you still didn't explain why this allows you to conclude
that sound mixing should in no way be done inside the kernel.

It works perfectly right now in userspace.

Yeah - for you maybe...


Please rephrase your comment in the form of a useful bug report.

Yes I will. But only after you stop spreading BS about how fine and
generally dandy the situation about sound support in Linux is thanks to ALSA.
One reports bugs only if one expects that the situation will improve.
Glaring problems on average commodity hardware one expect the developers to take
care of without any notice.


However since the beginning the situation with ALSA has always been a lot of
advertisement how well it will work but the results where always less then stellar
if one looked at them from the functional side. -
