thanks Kai. the "shm" device type is the one i have always been referring to when i have used the term "share". apologies for the confusion. --p ps. in case anyone finds Kai's last sentence via Google, let me add "concurrent pcm access *to hardware that does not support it*" so that nobody thinks that ALSA can't do this in the simple cases :) _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
