I'll come out and opening admit to being incredibly dumb so it took me DAYS to figure how to simply record into the mic input of an SBLive, then record mic and playing wav file with aplay at the same time, and then record mic and midi/wavetable at the same time. I still haven't managed to do all 3 at the same time. > yeah ... in life, there are no absolutes :) i'm sure, though, that > skype has the potential - in time - to be open-sourced. think about it - > the *only* thing that matters to something like VoIP is market-share ... > the more people that use *your* application, the more likely *other* > people are to use it - there's no use joining a network that has no one > to talk to ;) i reckon (maybe with some pressure, heh heh) that once > skype has cemented its market share, then it can only benefit, and > benefit *big*, by going open source ... I would respectfully disagree with your comments. 9/10s of the computer users on this planet are probably not even aware of what "open source" actually means... all most of these people care about is a) is it free and b) does it install without any problems. skype is already the market leader in this field, they just need to stay in front and whether they open source their crown jewels to give us GNU zealots a warm and fuzzy feeling is... debatable. > yeah, this would at least be something .... i was checking out the > forums, and it doesn't look like full-duplex recording will be an option > until they release an alsa-enabled version (which could be soon). Does that mean it is actually not at all possible to use voice both ways AND record both "channels" at the same time anyway ? --markc
