Is there a neat software solution for patching, say, the
left channel of PCM output to both channels of the line
output of my soundcard in ALSA?
I need this because I've just installed a TV card, which
works great except that the dual language function doesn't
seem to be supported. So I get English in one speaker and
Chinese in the other. I'd rather have the same in both.
I thought of doing it with the JACK patchbay, but the TV
output unfortunately doesn't show up in JACK.
Thanks for any help,
-Firstly what app are you using? It could be that someone round here
uses it and knows of a work around.
- There once was a jack plugin for alsa which allows you to run alsa/oss
apps through jack
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php?company=Generic&card=Generic&chip=Generic&module=Generic#jackplug
Apparently it doesn't work anymore.
- I thought there might be a plugin for assiging channels specifically
via an asoundrc file
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html#pcm_plugins
Looking into this it appears there is not that feature. Probably because
no one has ever needed it.
I would say the easiest solution is to file a bug report with the person
who makes the TV software. However you might get lucky and someone round
here might feel like whipping up a new plugin to solve your problem...
Cheers.
