Hi Peter, Thanks for your suggestions. I have one more question: In GSM mode. I have to also take audio data from TWL4030 MIC input and redirect to GSM. From your theory, If 0.0: TWL digital audio 0.1: My GSM codec arecord -Dplughw:0.1 | aplay -Dplughw:0.0 GSM to TWL4030. Can I specify, for TWL4030 to GSM arecord -Dplughw:0.0 | aplay -Dplughw:0.1 .Is this the correct thing? Can I both things at the same time? If I want to record a GSM call? I have to record both the conversations and copy in one file. since here both the buffers are independent. How this can be done?
