OK, i think I understand, I want an .asoundrc file start blank, then put in:
[code]
pcm.dsnooped {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 2048 #Any value at random. Really, any value.
slave {
pcm "hw:0" #Or whatever your card is
}
}
*#it's hw0:0 no?*
*
*
pcm.dmixed {
type dmix
ipc_key 5678293 #Any value at random. Really, any value.
ipc_perm 0666
slave {
pcm "hw:0" #Or whatever your card is
# These are all optional and are here for fine-tunning later on.
# period_time 0
# period_size 8192
# buffer_size 32768
# rate 48000
# format S16_LE
}
}
pcm.duplex_for_pulse {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type asym
playback.pcm "dmixed"
capture.pcm "dsnooped"
}
}
}
[/code]
Save it to my ~/ directory.
Then edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and add:
[code]
load-module module-alsa-sink device=duplex_for_pulse
load-module module-alsa-source device=duplex_for_pulse
[/code]
Do I have to comment out the udev/idle lines?

I thought this, i would do a sudo service pulseaudio restart, it would say
pulseaudio user something i forget. Maybe I needed a sudo pulseaudio -k.
Not sure. I would log out and back in, and most things in asoundrc would
take affect, but not all things in default.pa all the time. I know I had to
reboot for changes with certain things to actually take place. Not always,
like I could remove the alsa-sink and add it and pulse would get/loose
sound. But it was weird.
Um at work right now, but will definetely try this later. I at least know
messing with default.pa/asoundrc doesn't make me reinstall the OS. I tried
upgrading pulse/alsa-plugins to the unbugged versions, with new deb's,
installing the new dependencies, but it always wanted to remvoe gnome
eventually, then sound just stopped working, I could never get it back.
Reinstalled OS twice trying to get things working with wine/alsa/pulse in
Ubuntu (I mean perfectly, loosing sound after 30 minutes isn't acceptable to
me personally). So at least with this, I was able to restore original
default.pa, remove asoundrc and sound works like a fresh install again.

Appreciate your help a ton. Btw does [/code] work on the forums properly?
