After much frustration being stuck on intel8x0 and trying to run teamspeak at the same time as a game, I was looking at the dmix implementation and I had several questions.
What I want to do is modify dmix to do one of these things, in order of increasing desirability: 1) When capture stream is opened, let the open succeed, and all audio read from the capture stream is 0 (like the null plugin I guess). 2) Allow one client to open capture stream and just pipe data from the slave to the client (no multiplexing of any kind). 3) Combine dmix and dsnoop into a full-duplex sharing plugin. This seems like the ideal setup to me. The current implementation seems to me to handle capture stream in the worst possible way. When I open TeamSpeak and a game with sound with dmix, TeamSpeak wont even open the sound device for playback because capture returns an error. The thing is, dmix seems to have been around for years and nobody has addressed the shared full duplex issue, although it is talked about from time to time. So I will make a deal... if you all give me support and help with my questions, I'll tackle the problem myself, probably in the order I've liested above. :) Otherwise, if you all think this is not a worthwhile avenue to pursue, I will try to convince my wife to let me buy a sblive and call it a day. :) - D ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
