Suppose, mplayer is playing some movie and the audio is going to this dummy driver and Audacity is running which is recording from this dummy driver (the stream coming from mplayer). But as no actual device is there, user can't listen to what is being played or recorded. I want a playthru like thing so that whatever data audacity is getting for recording can also be directed to an actual sound card driver from within the kernel. So that user can listen to whatever is being played by mplayer and is being recorded by audacity. Same thing can be achieved by enabling playthru in audacity but I wish to do it in kernel mode using services of a driver for which actual hardware is present in the system. --Himanshu -- ============================= Himanshu Chauhan System Software Engineer inDSP Audio Technologies 341 Nila Technopark Trivandram, Kerala M:(+91)-(999)-(518)-(5989) ============================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
