So a plugin can configure its slave the way it likes? Would it be possible to change the slave configuration multiple times during playback (close/open slave would be OK for me)? > PulseAudio does something similar to this, but it's much more complex > than just an ALSA plugin. I'd like to avoid PulseAudio for my case. Basically, I have the choice between writing an ALSA plugin for a generic and transparent solution, or implementing the functionality in the playback software. The latter solution would be rather messy, I suspect, and be restricted to individual players (currently, I need to support two different players, both doing their things in very different ways). Anyway, taking a look a PulseAudio won't hurt if it cannot be done as ALSA plugin. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
