because its far from clear that this is the right thing to do with an SC port. if you don't know what SC is, you might not realize that the way 95% of all linux audio applications are written doesn't fit with SC's basic architectural model at all. many people think that writing a soundapp consists of opening a device, dumping some data to it and closing it. some programs can do that, but SC cannot. i don't know how much the questioner knows about the internal design of SC. its therefore not possible to answer the question until he pins down what he wants to do. --p _______________________________________________ linux-audio-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
