ALSA plugins

[Miroslav Skoric <skoric@uns.ac.rs>]

Hi all,

I was recently told that ALSA doesn't normally allow sharing a soundcard 
with two applications, but there are two ALSA plugins, dsnoop and dmix 
to share capture and playback respectively. I spent some time in 
searching the web for possible info on how to install or how to check if 
those plugins are installed, but did not find instructions. Any pointer 
in that direction? Thanks in advance.
