No, ALSA does not support it *in general*. Some interfaces will work this way, some will not. In theory, the ALSA "share" device type will allow this, but apparently almost no-one has ever used it except its main author. >The mathematics may be simple for 1 but why should it be done over and over >again. An API is meant to take away repetitive annoyances ;) the mathematics, such as they are, consist of addition. the real problems you face have to do with sample rate and sample bit width conversion, which are entirely different. i and others have said before that it would be nice if alsa-lib exposed the code it contains to do this stuff so that it could used in other contexts (not just hidden as part of "plug" or "plughw" device implementation. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
