>Does this mean that now one can channel ALSA-only aware apps directly to JACK
Yes. >and if so, are there any penalties of doing it this way as oposed to using JAC >K-aware apps (i.e. Sample-sync?)? Yes, you lose sample-synchronous guarantees. Also, there *might* be glitches in the audio output of the ALSA apps using this technique, though its unlikely to happen more frequently than if they were JACK apps. >2) Is there also a plug in ALSA that allows for non-interleaved cards (i.e. hd >sp) to be directly talked to (i.e. using aplay) since by default aplay complai >ns how the soundcard is not interleaved and hence it fails. the plughw:N device should take care of this. if not, alsa-devel needs to know. i can use aplay to play stuff on my hdsp using plughw. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
