Re: can't share microphone

[oldcpu <oldcpu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pulse audio allows this and makes it fairly easy (if you have pulse installed).  I did something a bit different (but same concept) as documented in post #4, #5, and #11 here: http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/460207-looking-maybe-audio-mixer-use-pulse-audio.html

Hi folks,
I have an application that uses the microphone and I'd like to share the source with other applications, e.g.: arecord.
I've tried to modify my .asoundrc using dsnoop as indicated in [1]. The mic keeps working for the application but arecord
outputs this error:
<< arecord: main:608: audio open error: Device or resource busy >>

Isn't dsnoop supposed to let me share the source ?

Thanks in advance,
