no, i don't think that's the plan. you use the "multi" PCM device type in an ~/.asoundrc file, then just open that one device. start/stop will start and stop both h/w interfaces, though there will be a delay. i don't think anyone has measured whether or not it is large enough to make a difference. as for running in sync, the multi interface doesn't handle it now, but it could. whether it should or not is another matter (much discussed on LAD earlier this month). --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
