I was trying to set up a script that would record from Line whenver invoked, but I didn't want the recording to disturb the current playback setting. i.e. I'd like to be able to listen to one thing on PCM while recording something else on Line.
Is that possible? My initial attempts suggest that capture won't stay on unless playback is also turned on, but is there a way around that, or is this just an expected limitation? $ amixer sset Line cap Simple mixer control 'Line',0 Capabilities: volume pswitch cswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: 0 - 31 Front Left: 24 [77%] Playback [off] Capture [on] Front Right: 24 [77%] Playback [off] Capture [on] $ amixer get Line Simple mixer control 'Line',0 Capabilities: volume pswitch cswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: 0 - 31 Front Left: 24 [77%] Playback [off] Capture [off] Front Right: 24 [77%] Playback [off] Capture [off] If there's documentation somewhere I should read, just point me at it, but I hadn't found anything so far :> Thanks -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: viaVerio will pay you up to $1,000 for every account that you consolidate with us. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4749864;7604308;v? http://www.viaverio.com/consolidator/osdn.cfm _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
