Kernel mixing is not rocket science. All you need to do is picking a
sample from the output buffers of each of the applications, sum them
together (with some volume scaling) and feed the result to the
physical
device.

Hey, interesting, this is exactly what dmix does in userspace. And we
have not seen any bug reports caused by the concept of userspace mixing
(just implementation bugs like any piece of software).

This attitude that every kind of software has to have bugs is
blunt idiotic tale-tale bullshit just showing off complete incompetence.

Does the acronym car-ABS and micro-controller maybe perhaps ring a bell for you? -
