FWIW, I tried alsa_out once upon a time, to handle a 4-channel-out USB interface that appears to Linux as two stereo devices. It was a complete disaster. After booting Jack and launching alsa_out, it took between 5 and 10 minutes before the devices would synchronize. Before that, constant glitching. Then, if I left the devices silent for a time, they would go out of sync again after a few minutes. More glitching. At that point, I started to feel that was no longer a viable solution to explore. I (still) wouldn't trust alsa_out or _in for anything serious. YMMV. hjh _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
