I _thought_ I'd asked the same question in regard to my newly installed soundcard and was told about all the different programs which don't play nicely with ALSA. However, I am running ALSA 1.0.9b and I WAS getting multiple input via my cheap builtin motherboard soundcard. But, with the new card (maudio audiophile 2496) I get only one application at a time. Just like the OP on this thread. I think there is a minor config issue, but damned if I can figure out what. -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bvdp@xxxxxxxxxxxx WWW: http://users.xplornet.com/~bvdp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
