Hi Robert,
thanks a lot for your reply!
This seems to record as soon as .asoundrc is "active". In my case,
this isn't exactly what I am trying to acchieve.
After I posted my initial question I finally found something, which
may be kinda solution....if it would work.... ;)
It seems, that with the kernel module snd_aloop and the command
alsaloop one is able to create a "copy" of the existing soundcard
in a way, that what goes into the real soundcard (the sound, firefox
creates) can be recorded from the loopback device.
But until now I can't get this working.
The .asoundrc so far looks like this (with the setup/hardware listed
in my initial posting):
# .asoundrc
pcm.multi {
type route;
slave.pcm {
type multi;
slaves.a.pcm "output";
slaves.b.pcm "loopin";
slaves.a.channels 2;
slaves.b.channels 2;
bindings.0.slave a;
bindings.0.channel 0;
bindings.1.slave a;
bindings.1.channel 1;
bindings.2.slave b;
bindings.2.channel 0;
bindings.3.slave b;
bindings.3.channel 1;
}
ttable.0.0 1;
ttable.1.1 1;
ttable.0.2 1;
ttable.1.3 1;
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "multi"
}
pcm.output {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.loopin {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0"
}
pcm.loopout {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,1,0"
}
(this is copied from the web mainlu)
But - as mentioned - this does not work currently. The recorded audio
(arecord) produces an "The Sound of Silence"... ;)
But may be this is a starting point ... I am still at the very
beginning of all this it seems...
Cheers!
