[MPlayer-users] no more dmix ?

[Philou]

Hello,

It had been a while since i didn't upgrade my mplayer SVN repository,
and since i did yesterday, the dmix alsa plugin doesn't work anymore.

I haven't followed the list closely so this may be a known issue, still i
didn't see anything in my mail archives or with Google.

Otherwise i'll start dichotomy so i can find when exactly it stopped working.

OS is Linux 2.6.20.11 on P4 x86 with 2 sound cards.
Both sound cards work perfectly with alsa:device=hw=0.0 or alsa:device=hw=1.0
No other sound daemon is working (no artsd, esd,etc..)

Thanks,

Philippe
