What do you mean by "routing". You cannot feed the output of an alsa application into the jack graph w/o capturing the mix on the soundcard. Well it _might_ be possible by using the "file" pcm plugin, using a pipe and having the jack app read from that pipe. > > Note that aplay plays to the "wave" control in alsamixer. aplay plays to the pcm device specified by the -D switch. If none is given it plays to the "default" device which is usually equivalent to plughw:0,0 iirc. The "wave" control on your soundcard happens to control the playback volume of the default pcm. > Now my application connects to > alsa_pcm:in_1 > alsa_pcm:in_2 > alsa_pcm:out_1 > alsa_pcm:out_2 > and it is the same "wave" control. sure, as jackd is an alsa application that uses hw:0,0 per default, its volume is, of course, controlled by the "wave" slider in alsamixer. > > Puzzle: To prevent aplay from going to speakers, I have to turn > the "wave" to zero.

Did i mention already that this doesn't quite make sense to me? Please explain in more clear words (since you still seem to be somewhat confused by the technicalities) what exactly you are trying to do. flo
