Ardour is *not* trivial to set up (check my web page > http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html). Don't forget ecasound (w/ ALSA): ecasound -a:mon -i drums.wav -o alsa,default \ -a:rec1,rec2 -f:16,2,44100 -i alsa,default \ -a:rec1 -f:16,1,44100 -o first_rec_channel.wav \ -a:rec2 -erc:2,1 -f:16,1,44100 -o second_rec_channel.wav ... with OSS you just replace 'alsa,default' with '/dev/dep' and it'll work (assuming your OSS drivers support full-duplex). ... with JACK it's even easier: ecasound -a:mon -f:16,1,44100 -i drums.wav -o jack \ -a:rec1 -i jack -o first_rec_channel.wav \ -a:rec2 -i jack -o second_rec_channel.wav ... you'll have to use qjackconnect or jack_connect to connect the port to the soundcard ports. .. more examples at: http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html And ecasound *is* trivial to set up. :) -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
