Hi, I don't have a landline so I talk a lot on Skype using my USB headset. This is great, but sometimes I want to put it on speaker, like when I'm on hold at my bank for a long time. I don't need to switch the mic, just the speakers. Then I can put my headset down for a while and get on with something more useful than standing near my computer listening to hold music. So, what I really want is an ALSA output device that defaults to my headset but I can switch on the fly to my speakers and back again without disrupting the call. Can it be done? For info, my speakers are fed by a normal PCI soundcard (an Audigy) through a hifi amplifier. The headset is a fairly generic USB model. I'm on Ubuntu Hardy. -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
