you're not using ALSA in a standard way so you will always have issues.<br></blockquote><div><br>How so? I understood this to be a perfectly standard use of ALSA. At least, every other audio application I run seems to think so.<br>

ALSA wasn't designed to allow multiple applications access the audio<br>
card at the same time.</blockquote><div><br>I wouldn't know about the project's intentions, but the fact that hooks exist for multiple applications being notified of volume level changes would at the least seem to me to suggest otherwise.<br>

accessing the audio card (and mixer)<br></blockquote><div><br>I acknowledged myth's understandable myopia in this regard in my first message in this thread. But I do thank you very much for acknowledging it, as well as for any help!<br>
