USB inputs are still beyond my test set:-) (maybe a USB DVD > player?). I'm not completely clear what you want to do here. I think you want to treat a software path like a hardware path. The most basic is to maximize logging from sound applications. Or you could compile alsa-lib with debugging turned on and trace what happens when sound is sent through it using gdb. Or you could run a sound playing application with strace. In a GUI, most things are event driven, so the paths periodically exist and don't exist. I don't think it is possible to do what you want in the way you mean. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
