What I did was loaded a file in MusE that had a "live" audio track and several midi tracks. The midi tracks (along with the keyboard that I was playing) was triggering Timidity... and Timidity is in alsaseq mode. I had to enable "capture mode" on the "Wave" slider (in alsamixer). With the "Wave" slider in "capture mode", I was able to record everything that MusE was playing *and* what was coming out of the keyboard I was playing. There's ways of seperating what gets recorded and what just gets played thru alsa (by selecting the right capture modes and adjusting the sliders). I don't remember how it all works though. This is what I was saying about there being possible "hidden" advantages to the (many) capture modes and sliders in alsamixer. For instance, if I was playing a flash demo (in netscape), and enabled the capture mode on the Wave slider, would I be able to record the flash sound to a WAV file? If not, would there be a slider that would allow this "capturing" of the flash demo? I will bet anything that it would be the "Wave" slider. There's so many sliders and I've messed with them in differnet occasions. There's a lot one can do with all that control. I'm just not sure *how* much. For instance, I've adjusted *just* the echo effect and lowered the "dry" sound (the original sound) from a file that was being played with ecasound by using the right combination of sliders in alsamixer.
