The digital "Loopback" control routes the S/PDIF input to the S/PDIF output, but this won't allow any sounds from the computer to get through. The "Digital Input Monitor" control allows you to mix the S/PDIF input into the sound going to the analog front outputs. In theory, the front outputs are duplicated to the digital output as long as there isn't a separate stream being played on the digital output device, so this might be what you want (but I'm not sure if this duplication also applies to the monitored sound). > i came to the (temporary) conclusion that suchj an effect is possible > with the proper .asoundrc file. There is no plugin that allows to also open a capture device when an application accesses a playback device.
