OK, I thought of a hacky way of doing this. The Xonar hardware is able to upmix stereo to 4, 6 and 8 channels. In alsamixer, this is controlled by the "Stereo Upmixing" control. If I set it to "Front+Surround", I can keep my speakers plugged in in the "front" jack, and connect the jack next to it to the line-in jack. Then I can select "Line" as capture source. This won't work for 5.1/7.1 surround setups, but I guess in my case it'll do since I only use stereo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
