Re: sound card question
Anyways.. I heard from some other people that certain sound cards are able to
play more than one audio stream at the same time in Linux without the sound
daemons. It seems a lot easier without one. I tried putting in a sound
blaster live (emu10k1) before and playing more than one sound worked.
However, the emu10k1 has a rather strange bug with the volume being really
high (you can hear this incredibly annoying static). I've noticed this in
another unix-like operating system, but in Windows, it works fine. Anyways,
that's beside the point. What other sound cards can do this or is there some
other alternative?
Thanks
