[pulseaudio-discuss] 3 cards, use all w/ PA AND one of them with skype too ...

2009-09-27 Thread Chris Joelly 
Hello,

i try to setup my 3 cards in a way so that it works like the following:

1st device onboard (Intel 82801H 8086:284b) headset
2nd device pci (ES1969 Solo-1 125d:1969) room1
3rd device pci (Ensoniq ES1371 1274:1371) room2

i want to use all 3 devices with PA for output and only the first device 
for input. i managed to combine them to be a simultaneous device for
outputting to two at the same time (room1 and room2), simultaneous output
to all three is default in PA, so this is trivial ;-) 

The problems i have is with the input of the headset and getting it
running with skype. I thought i could use .asoundrc to redirect all alsa
based applications to pulse, but that only works for output ...

.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
type pulse
}

So, how can i tell alsa/pulse to let the mic of the headset be used from
within alsa based applications?

thanks, Chris

That should work fine for input too.

You've got it right already!

But just use the latest beta of skype as it supports PA directly now 
(\o/). I've even got mine setup so that if I'm on a call and I turn on 
my BT headset it switches over correctly!


Make sure you untick the box in the audio preferences in v2.1.0.47 to 
let skype adjust your volumes (or words to that effect) as there is a 
bug in the current implementation (it's fixed in their code now but it's 
not bubbled through to the surface yet).


Cheers

Col
