Managed to get CMUS bitperfect as far as I understand via ALSA (no dmix, no software volume control unlike deadbeef, no DSP, no funny business), as CMUS is ncurses based you can also run outside of X, which is nice.   Open CMUS, then press 7, scroll down to "output_plugin" make sure it's...

Thanks yay101, thats what I figured..   Do you have a link to that info on the sound science forum? Seems like an intresting read.   Regarding dmix I thought that it was enabled as default for soundcards which do not support hardware mixing for later revisions?   I also have it generally...
