I have an app that uses the ALSA library on Linux. The app calls snd_pcm_open() to open the capture device. Currently, I use "default" as the name of the device. According to "arecord -L", the default device is the PulseAudio server. Is there a way to bypass PulseAudio, and communicate with the hardware directly? I've tried using "sysdefault" and "hw:0,0" as the name of the device, and in both cases, I get an error that the device is busy. Is that because PulseAudio has monopolized the device? -- Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.
