I have a system with an RME HDSP card (Multiface II system) and I faced the exact same issue. So I hacked an ALSA 2 Jack bridge: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge Works really good for what I am using it for. No pulseaudio, no gstreamer, pure ALSA only. Good luck :) J. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
