Hi! I have looked the wiki, tried lot of stuff, asked to some LUG list and since nothing else worked, I fall back on you I don't understand clearly how alsa is working... I started with http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc
my need : I have a 5.1 ogg stream, and a 5.1 soundcard, but I just use the 2.0 one (I don't have 5.1 speaker system, just headphones) sadely ogg don't merge the streams as aac lib does to make a 2.0 sound from a 5.1 one, so when I listen to this stream I just hear partial sound... so what I need is - a way to create a virtual 5.1 alsa device that merge all streams into a 2.0 one - the device shall accept multiple client (like dmix) I thought first at using Plugin: Route & Volume but it don't allow multiple client I then tried dmix, but the binding field don't seems to work correctly I tried with bindings { 0 0 # map front left to left 1 0 # map front center to left 1 1 # map front center to right 2 1 # map front right to right 3 0 # map rear left to left 4 1 # map rear right to right 5 0 # map subwoofer to right 5 1 # map subwooder to left } as a first approximation.... but well didn't worked correctly can someone help me? thanks JLM -- KISS!
