Well since I learned a lot about combining and routing in pulseaudio, the way I would configure it is this: You want to create one virtual sink (null sink) which receives both local audio and microphone data, you want a separate one because otherwise you hear yourself. First have the new sink using module-null-sink. Then connect the microphone to it using module-loopback and lastly join the virtual and real sound card using module-combine-sink. And you should direct the audio output of the application to the combined sink. Information about all the modules: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules Daniel On Fri 02 Nov 2012 05:09:39 AM CET, Amar Akshat wrote: > Pardon my ignorance, however I do not fully understand, what is meant > by mixing the two recordings ?
