The latency involved when looping back to user-space. We would prefer to avoid unnecessary latency altogether if possible. 2. We wish to hold each input in a different SMACK security context - aloop does not give a PCM device per input, but rather one PCM device, with a substream per input. This is an issue since SMACK can only apply one label per PCM device. 3. We want to dynamically construct the sound card PCM devices based on user configuration. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
