This brings me to the question, if it wouldn't be possible to achieve
something similar to Vsound with the use of ALSA's plugin
architecture. Reding a bit through the asoundrc docs at
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html, I
found the plugin:
File
This plugin stores contents of a PCM stream to file.
pcm.name {
type file # File PCM
slave STR # Slave name
# or
slave { # Slave definition
pcm STR # Slave PCM name
# or
pcm { } # Slave PCM definition
}
file STR # Filename
or
file INT # File descriptor number
[format STR] # File format (only "raw" at the moment)
}
Now this obviously is intended to be used for capturing the sound of
an application to a file. Did anyone use this already? And would this
work for ALSA's OSS emulation, as well?
ciao
