Dmix seems rather limited and doesn't come automatically setup for all audio devices. [1] [1]: https://alsa.opensrc.org/Dmix https://alsa.opensrc.org/Dmix

  That's a very old wiki page with decades old workaround for decade old issues. I'm not saying you are wrong, but if you take this impression solely from that wiki page you are likely mislead. Afaik this always works and did for many years - but I might be wrong and always only lucky with all the systems where I tested it?

    I think you've hit one of the most painful topics of ALSA: Its documentation.

      Yes, you can do an incredible amount of very useful stuff with ALSA and it's asoundrc files. Sadly that logic is quite opaque, poorly documented, and produces mysterious error messages or, worse, no error at all.

      Check out the "Perfect Setup" for Pulse Audio: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup/ https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documen... Sounds on linux is a shitshow.

        Yeah I'm aware that PA has relatively a lot of documentation, but I'd still like to see ALSA documented. Even if a tiny bit more.
