See http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-null-sink for no further information. 2011/10/9 Chris <kc2rgw at gmail.com>: > A functional equivalent of line-out to line-in of two devices. > > 44100 would be ideal for the sample rate for both ends > > The application is for ham radio DSP of the stream so as little mangling of > the stream as possible is highly desirable.

Pulse can certainly be configured not to touch the audio with resampling/mixing, but if you insists in doing so, why even bother with all the capabilities pulseaudio provides? Maarten
