Ok I have searched for and read just about every thread on alsa mixing and can't get past this problem. I have a dsnoop pcm setup that I can record from just fine, but when i try to record with two instances of arecord at once the second one always errors out with "Unable to open slave", I have tried the pre-configured dsnoop without a modified asound.conf or .asoundrc, checked permissions and groups, and tried defining my own dnsoop device. I just can't get past unable to open slave on the second recording application. Exact output from second arecord: ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:606:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to open slave arecord: main:545: audio open error: Invalid argument Any help is greatly appreciated ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
