As I said it's not trivial... but he only needs a loopback device and a jackplugin if he wants to record stuff coming from skype, flashplayers and other non jack compliant apps For vlc+skype to work jack and qjackctl is enough, BTW qjackctl it's the way to go he wants to control everything. -r -- *L'unica speranza di catarsi, ammesso che ne esista una, resta affidata all'istinto di ribellione, alla rivolta non isterilita in progetti, alla protesta violenta e viscerale.*
