Hi, to share a capture stream between several apps, you can use the dsnoop plugin. You will then also have to tweak the OSS emu to use a pcm device defined in your .asoundrc. Read the pages about Oss-emu: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=OssEmulation and about dmix [not the same as dsnoop, but the genral workings should become clear]: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin and the .asoundrc documentation: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=.asoundrc There's a new plugin called asym which can be used to combine both dmix and dsnoop into a single pcm device. This can be very useful. Search this ML for "asym", since we don't have any info about it in either the wiki nor the official alsa docs [as far as i know].. The info is there. You only need to do some more digging.. Depending on your hardware and how these apps talk to the oss devices your milage may vary though..
