i see. so i guess there's no per-channel device node under alsa? > You can't cat files to /dev/dsp and have them be mixed (but cat file.wav > > /dev/dsp was never a good interface anyway) as the in-kernel OSS > emulation does not do software mixing. But you can just "aplay > file.wav" from two different terminals and they will be mixed. gotcha. alsa-aware apps it is, then. thanks. if alsa is doing the mixing, how can one adjust the relative volume of the inputs? possible? going back to my music and home-automation menuing example, i could see wanting to mute or reduce the volume of the music while the voice menus are speaking. paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 32.0 degrees) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
