Hi, all: I edit my ~/.asoundrc as below: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "asym" } pcm.asym { type asym playback.pcm "save" capture.pcm "save1" } pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "asym" } pcm.dsp { type plug slave.pcm "asym" } pcm.save { type file slave.pcm "dmixout" file "/var/tmp/record.raw" } pcm.save1 { type file slave.pcm "dmixin" file "/var/tmp/record1.raw" } pcm.dmixout { type dmix ipc_key 12345 ipc_key_add_uid yes slave { pcm hw channels 2 period_size 1024 buffer_size 32768 rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 } pcm.dmixin { type dsnoop ipc_key 98765 ipc_key_add_uid yes slave { pcm hw channels 2 period_size 1024 buffer_size 32768 rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } Then restart alsa and found I can record what I hear from my PC now! but unfortunatly, I can't "mplayer a movie" and "listen to a streaming mp3" at the same time--one of the two has no sound. but when I change the ~/.asoundrc to ~/.asoundrc_bak and restart the alsa--than the configure will not take effect---now I can "mplayer a movie" and "listen to a streaming mp3" at the same time--with good mixed audio. Who know why I can't apply the concurrent audio applications with dmix? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
