it cannot be done via direct kernel emulation (ie. the app has to be run by "aoss"). kernel emulation has no access to the relevant user space plugins. and anyway, no, actually i don't think ALSA should waste time on this when it was not possible under OSS. all it does is prop up apps using the OSS API, and thats a bad idea from every angle. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
