Description Ludwig Nussel 2005-09-01 15:34:35 UTC

With dmix enabled, SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa and quake3 from 
http://www.icculus.org/quake3/ the sound lags. Without dmix there is no lag. 
 
It would be nice if we had an asoundrc in /etc that tells people how to easily 
disable dmix, e.g. 
#uncomment this to disable dmix 
#pcm.!default "plughw"

frozen-bubble also has lag, maybe it's a problem of the SDL alsa backend.

Fixed in the latest dmix version.
