Hi, I've gotten a little more information on my asym problems after setting things up with the dmix and dsnoop plugins I had defined, instead of just the example given. The error message is now different, depending on whether I start aplay or arecord first. Maybe that's progress? :)
If I start arecord and then aplay, the error is the same as it's been: $ aplay -v -Dduplex tmp.wav ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:632:(snd_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) requested or auto-fo rmat is not available ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave aplay: main:502: audio open error: Invalid argument If I start aplay and then try to start arecord, I get: $ arecord -v -f cd -Dduplex test.wav ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:193:(make_local_socket) connect failed: No such file or di rectory ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:590:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to connect client arecord: main:502: audio open error: No such file or directory The above has me completely baffled. To make things more confusing, arecord or aplay work fine, even running multiple instances of them at the same time through the "duplex" plug, as long as I don't try using them together. Relevant part of .asoundrc: --- pcm.dm1 { type dmix ipc_key 1234 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 8192 } } pcm.dsn1 { type dsnoop ipc_key 1235 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 8192 } } # Currently only half duplex pcm.duplex { type asym playback.pcm "dm1" capture.pcm "dsn1" } --- Ideas, anyone? Thanks.
