I had some luck with the named pipe setup. I was able to set up
.asoundrc to write to a named pipe in /tmp and then send this data
over a socket and play it on another machine.
However, all (audio) applications freeze until my program (which reads
from the pipe) begins to run. This is expected behaviour of named
pipes.
I believe I can solve this by modifying the PCM 'default' dynamically.
That way, I can modify the PCM at the start of my program to use my
custom .asoundrc.
Is it possible to:
1) Modify PCM 'default' on the fly?
2) Re-initialize ALSA with a new .asoundrc without
rebooting/restarting the desktop manager?
@Anders:
I tried that approach already with no luck. For some reason when I
include snd-aloop to my modules, aplay -L does not show any of the
loopback devices.
