(NOTE: RESENT as received an email the alsa-devel mailinglist had moved.) OBJECTIVE: merge (mplayer cli or aplay) audio stream with SIP/Skype so that music can be heard during chat. Really need help from a developer I think as alsa-users mailinglist not able to help during past 2 weeks. 2 weeks happily studying alsa/plugins, posted/searched on mailing lists and tried irc as well. Could really use a guru assist. I get the parts mostly, though obviously not how it all comes together in an .asoundrc. - aloop driver is installed. After scores of attempts now wondering: maybe having the music track playing on it's own soundcard or loopback and having that merge into the microphone? channel of sip/skype's soundcard. Like, have the music play out on the intel card 0, and loopback through aloop card 1, then merge that with asym/dmix onto sip/skype's headset card 2 ???? I kinda know what the plugs do, though not how to hook-up through .asoundrc. I've found 3 or 4 great posts on alsa-devel and alsa-users though ultimately for me just glimmers of working. Rather than glut up the list here I've only posted my aplay -l Can anyone comment on exactly what I'd put in my .asoundrc? What the flow/parts would be even? To stop stuttering (fighting for card control ? etc.) I guessed that the music playing on it's own card might be good? Very happy to post what I've got though thought I should ask first if anyone has found a best practice for this. **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Loopback [Loopback], device 0: Loopback PCM [Loopback PCM] Subdevices: 8/8 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 Subdevice #4: subdevice #4 Subdevice #5: subdevice #5 Subdevice #6: subdevice #6 Subdevice #7: subdevice #7 card 1: Loopback [Loopback], device 1: Loopback PCM [Loopback PCM] Subdevices: 8/8 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 Subdevice #4: subdevice #4 Subdevice #5: subdevice #5 Subdevice #6: subdevice #6 Subdevice #7: subdevice #7 card 2: default [C-Media USB Headphone Set ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
