Prabhu,
Most codecs have only ONE analog to digital converter (ADC). That means
you can only record ONE digital stream at a time (mono or stereo).
In front of the ADC there can be a mixer, combining some ANALOG signals.
Instead of a mixer there could also be a selector, that can select only
one input at a time.
We still need to know something about your hardware and what you try to
do:
* Do you have two ADC's and do you want to record LINE on one ADC,
MIC on the other ADC?
* Or: do you have one ADC and do you want an analog mixer to
combine the two analog signals, then send them to the ADC?
Then the SW driver will indicate that you have a LINE input and
a MIC input, and in this case you can use them at the same time.
Also, don't forget to control the volumes of each input before
mixing.
* Or: do you have one ADC and an analog input selector, that can
only select one input at a time?
Then the SW driver will indicate that you have a LINE input and
a MIC input, but is does NOT mean you can use them at the same time.
* Or: are you being creative and do you want to record LINE on the
right channel, MIC on the left channel of a stereo ADC?
The software will most likelly not support this.
Maybe we could help you better if you specify the actual hardware ADC
chip (and software driver) that you use.
Kind regards,
Arie de Muijnck

Hi Steve,
as i said my audio codec supports to select more then one recording
source at a time. so i download one application and did some
changes to capture from both the surface at the same time by orring with
both LINEIN and MIC.
But i got the below error
Failed to ask mixer for available recorders -- 1.
: Invalid argument
but recording from individual sources working fine. So what is the right
way to select both the recording source at the same time. Below is the
code
that i executed.

It would be difficult to record separate audio streams on mic and
line-in since both goes to the same ADC.
below code i found that my codec does supports that
status = ioctl(fd, SOUND_MIXER_READ_CAPS, &caps);
if (status == -1)
perror("SOUND_MIXER_READ_CAPS ioctl failed");
if (!(caps & SOUND_CAP_EXCL_INPUT))
Thanks

My requirement is to capture from both LINE IN

Can any body tell me how to achieve this

Thanks
Do you mean, you wish two separate analog input support,
one inserted
in Line-in, another in Mic ?
