Thanks for being intelligent enough to point this out. I hope that
one day, the Linux kernel developers will take this suggestion as well. I
have on numerous occasions said that Mixing belongs in the kernel. Until
then, every solution will be sub-par.
MacOS X does this, Windows XP does this (and has since '95 with
directsound, if I understand correctly). The only OSes that don't do it
are ones that are designed from the ground up to not be desktop OSes,
like Linux.
There was a reason, Allan, that I didn't reply to this guy's first email,
and you'll just end up replying to uninformed comments until the end of
time...
