Is it possible to use dmix with multi? I would like to be able to plug in external USB speakers and have playback continue through the default and USB speakers sound cards. Putting dmix after multi results in silent failure. Putting dmix anywhere in the chain before multi result in "ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1464:(_snd_pcm_direct_get_slave_ipc_offset) Invalid type 'multi' for slave PCM". I am using ALSA 1.0.14a. I can get sound replicated on both sets of speakers when I take dmix out of the chain. Thanks, -Robert Dick- ---- pcm.multicard { type multi slaves.a.pcm hw:UA25 slaves.a.channels 2 slaves.b.pcm hw:Speaker slaves.b.channels 2 bindings { 0.slave a; 0.channel 0 1.slave a; 1.channel 1 2.slave b; 2.channel 0 3.slave b; 3.channel 1 } } pcm.!dmix { type dmix ipc_key 1234 slave.pcm multicard } pcm.asymed { type asym capture.pcm dsnoop # If I change this to dmix, it fails. playback.pcm multicard } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm asymed route_policy duplicate } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
