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

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!

Hi,

I'm wondering if the following is possible.

If I have my asound.conf configured in such a way that

pcm.media {

}

route to hw:0,0 throuh dmix.

can I dynamically change the device to hw:0,1 or hw:1,0 if necessary?

Not possible with the current implementation. For such a purpose, better to use PulseAudio.
