If I understand the question correctly, you're looking for the plugin that writes all of its input to a file. There are two in vaguely recent ALSA versions: tee and something else. Tee writes the output to a file but also sends it to the output device. 'file' or whatever the other one is just writes it to a file. I can't find my notes for using them, but if you search this mailing list for a post I made a few weeks ago, I gave an example usage of it. Or just do a google search for alsa tee. If you are instead looking to redirect the sound output to your application, then I don't know the deep ALSA magic required to make a capture device that feeds data off of a playback device, but you could probably use tee/file going to a named pipe to achieve the same result. Disclaimer: I am not an ALSA expert. In fact, I barely understand it at all. When I try, my head hurts, and I go do something else for a while. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
