Re: output options?

[brent harding]

I never really thought of that idea before, the only reason I use alsa as
emu10k1 used in sblive has no oss driver, so I made the kernel with sound
support, but chose no other options. Can one achieve recording more than
one thing at a time, mike and music at the same time? Sox won't play
through a pipe, it says needs file, not pipe, as I experimented attempting
to record to /dev/tape, even symbolically linking it to /dev/tape.wav so
the program would be happy, it never recorded, and never played either. The
reason real player doesn't have standard out is that they don't want you
recording their streams in to a wave file or something, as real player plus
has that feature only if the server admin allows it. The only solution to
that is cassette hooked to line-out, but it'd have to run through an analog
to digital converter, as I've tried recording from every jack on my sblive,
and none of them gives me anything when I do it, even if the volumes are
up. I made sure not to do what I did before and hook it to the mike, as it
blew the old motherboard integrated card, which then produced an overtone
and lots of hiss, it always had hiss anyways. I have digital out, but my
tape recorder doesn't have digital in, how fun recording to that could be
in that situation.
