That is exactly the problem! DMIX is for playback. DSNOOP is for capture. Where is the module that is for both? Why, oh why, did they not simply make ONE MODULE in the first place?? The semantics would be (rather would have been) that if someone tries to open the capture stream through the dmix plugin, it will "pass through" to the slave. This means that while many apps can open playback stream, only one would be able to open capture without blocking. It would have been ideal to integrate dsnoop functionality, but I deemed that this was a bit too complicated for an initial implementation. Of course at this point, I'm ready to forget it. I've got too many things going on to justify not just buying a new sound card, much as that irritates me. - D ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
