Anyway, it's Still incorrect, since only one sound server could grab the audio device, the other sound sever needs to use the sound server connected to ALSA. +-------------+ | Application | +-------------+ +-------------------+ | Application | | One sound server | +----------------------------------------+ | Another Soundserver connects with ALSA | +------------+---------------------------+ | ALSA connects software and hardware | +----------------------------------------+ | Hardware | +----------------------------------------+ That's simplified, but in this context IMO good enough.
