says you...i say unless you need esoteric interapp routing capabilities and are on i686 and want to patch your kernel and run everything as root its not worth fighting with this userlayer util to get it to run as smoothly (in terms of eliminating audio dropouts) as ALSA's dmix or hardware mix..
What's hard about installing two software packages: jackd and qjackctl? I run a vanilla kernel, not patching at all. I also don't run as root, I use the realtime-lsm which can be installed through Synaptic as well in one small additional step. Dmix is okay for a desktop system, but not really a proper solution for music production.
And depending on the card you have, dmix can be hard to setup as well. See my Dmix-Howto for a detailed example using the ICE1712 cards.
