The Alsa documentation is confusing me massively.
I have no problems getting a basic setup sorted but I'm having trouble when
trying to do more than one thing at a time.
I have 2 soundcards:
- via686 onboard (half-duplex hardware. Can only record OR playback, can
only playback one thing at a time atm)
- ymfpci (should be full-duplex. Can play back more than one thing at a
time. Should be able to record whilst playing back)
One way or another I need to record whilst playing back and be able to
playback from >1 source (i.e. play 2 mp3 files at once).
To do this:
- How do I go about setting up /dev/dsp1 as well as /dev/dsp? (I have edited
/etc/modules.d/alsa and update-modules to no avail. Can I do this with
seporate soundcards or
just one? (the ymfpci has 2 channels)
- How do I get my yamaha to record whilst playing back (full-duplex)? I have
followed install instructions and I think it should work
Any links or suggestions would be great. I'm finding Alsa incredibly
compilcated for me.
Perhaps (as the most simple answer) I could have the via686 using standard
OSS and the ymfpci using Alsa?
