Specifically, Skype but it applies to other things too -- streaming
audio in Firefox etc. It's a real drag, especially if I have to
collaborate online. If I'm running supercollider server (which is
Jack-only), I can't do VoIP thru Skype at the same time. Grrrrrr....
I found a forum post online suggesting to create a ~/.asoundrc file
which I presume is supposed to tell ALSA to pass connection requests
through to Jack. But, after creating this and rebooting, Skype still
says "audio playback error" when I call the "test call" account.
Should I put this in /etc/asound.conf instead? Or is this type of
configuration not supported?
(The Skype forum has gone totally unresponsive on this topic - so I'm
asking here b/c it's a safe bet that some users here are smarter about
linux audio than the Skype people.)
Thanks,
James
