Greetings, I recently posted a request to the alsa-users list for a sample of an asoundrc to use with the ice1712 chip. Looking back on it, I think the message was probably too vague to get a response, so I'll clarify it a bit here. Also, while I suspect the problem to be in my ALSA configuration, I'm using ecasound and this may be more appropriately directed there, hence the cross-post.
I have an M-Audio Omnistudio with the Delta-66 card with which I am trying to use ecasound-2.1-dev11 and ALSA-0.9.0rc3 to simultaneously record live audio from the first two input channels to two separate files in the following manner: ecasound -r -b:256 -f:16,1,44100 \ -a:1 -i alsa,ice1712_ch1 -o vocals.wav \ -a:2 -i alsa,ice1712_ch2 -o guitar.wav However, this fails with a "device busy" error. I get the proper behavior when I call either chain 1 or 2 separately, resulting in a file with either vocals or guitar . And calling "ecasound -r -b:256 -f:16,2,44100 -i alsa,ice1712 -o both.wav" results in a wav with both tracks recorded to one file. I can also chain together the playback of multiple files with the recording of a single track, and output any combination thereof to card 0 (I have no monitors for the Delta-66). This makes me suspect my ALSA config. I have the following entries defined in ~/.asoundrc: pcm.ice1712 { type hw card 1 } ctl.ice1712 { type hw card 1 } pcm.ice1712_ch1 { type plug slave.pcm ice1712 ttable.0.0 1 } ctl.ice1712_ch1 { type hw card 1 } pcm.ice1712_ch2 { type plug slave.pcm ice1712 ttable.0.1 1 } ctl.ice1712_ch2 { typw hw card 1 } My understanding is that it should be possible for me simultaneously to record four channels of analog audio input, and two of digital, to separate files on the machine with a Delta-66, I've just only mentioned the two here for brevity. Any suggestions would be very welcome. Cheers, Dan -- A boast of "I have been's," | Daniel G.
