Pulseaudio allows sharing of audio devices, streamign the audio over a network etc. Alsa provide controlled access to hardware deviceswith adiditon such as mixers, resampling ertc. Pulase audiuo sits over Alsa. Both Pulseaudio and ALSA have strict controls over shared access (e.g. two processes which different owner id, two processes with the same owner id, two process one of which is child of the other) to an audio device. Whether you cansdhare a device depeneds on how Pulseaudio and/or ALSA is configured on your system and which devices you have decided to use to output (e.g. ALSA hw:, plughw, dmix, pulse etc) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112050 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
