yeah i know. however, i was not interested in the "normal" way, but rather in the "explicit" way, where i would do everything manually (hoping to build an asoundrc on top of my experiences with doing it manually) > Did you use > > hw:Loopback,1 doh! this is basically the answer i was looking for. thanks a lot! >> what are the requirements for an application to use >> zita-ajbridge? > > Wrong question. > > zita-a2j and zita-j2a are *not* ALSA devices to be used by an > application - rather the inverse: they are applications that use an > ALSA device (which should be a hw: one).
