Firefox flash plugin? Nope, just adjust the Master volume.
But that will affect all streams.
(Why both Xine and MPlayer? :-? )
Because xfmedia is a frontend to xine-lib.
It should be enough to make all your audio applications output on alsa.
That's what I thought too - but with xfmedia, it's not. And to get back to that flash plugin, where would I look to make sure it's set for alsa output?

s="song name.mp3"; p=2;
(mplayer -ao alsa "$s" &) && (sleep $p) &&
(mplayer -ao alsa "$s" &) && (sleep $p) &&
(mplayer -ao alsa "$s" &) && sleep 10 &&
killall mplayer
This should allow you to check the mixing capabilities of your alsa setup, with 3 tracks (not sure how many dmix supports). On my computer (P4 3GHz Presscot, the CPU usage was unnoticeable).
Replace
s="song name.mp3"
appropriately.
p=2 is the time in sec until a new concurent mplayer is started.
EDIT: cleaned up code
]]>I found the Software Mixer option for mplayer alright, and it works as expected. I can't find one for xfmedia, so I'll see what the developer says.
At least I know what I'm looking for now.
]]>mixer_type "software"
XMMS has that in its preferences somewhere. So does BMP, but BMP's didn't work last I checked. All the GNOME (and IIRC KDE) multimedia apps use software volume control by default, AFAIK.
]]>So does anyone know how to change the mix with dmix i.e. control the inidividual volumes of the various sound streams? I haven't come across anything on that yet, and so far I've found that I can only alter the volume of the overall mix.

So where does that leave me? Is my dmix OK, or is there some unseen esd trickery going on?
