[alsa-devel] switching pcm devices dynamically when using dmix

[Baek Chang]

Would it be possible to implement this feature in another plugin?  For
example, some plugin called "switch", that would take a parameter for device
or card name/number that would close the current device and open the new
requested device?  Would this be worth investigating?

Thanks!
