HI all,

I'm trying to use snd-aloop as my default soundard. I have the .asoundrc that look like this.

pcm.sndcard{ type hw card 1 #snd-aloop soundcard device 0 }

pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1025 ipc_perm 0660 slave { pcm sndcard period_time 0 period_size 881 buffer_size 3524 rate 44100 }

bindings { 0 0 1 1 } }

pcm.dsnooper { type dsnoop ipc_key 1026 ipc_perm 0660 slave { pcm sndcard period_time 0 period_size 881 buffer_size 3524 rate 44100 }

bindings { 0 0 1 1 }

}

pcm.duplexasym { type asym playback.pcm "dmixer" # playback capture.pcm "dsnooper" # capture }

pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm duplexasym } }

ctl.duplex { type hw card 1 }

Right now my problem is, i can only get 1 sound from an application at a time. I can't run several applications at the same time and recorded all the sounds.

This is what I did :

My default sound card is indexed at 0, so the snd-aloop will be at index 1. To test this, I first run an MP3 player. Then I run this in terminal:

arecord -D hw:1,1 -f cd | aplay -D hw:0 -f cd

The sound come out good.

Then when I open a browser, go to youtube and play a song over there, the sound won't come out. I have to first close the browser and the currently playing MP3 player, then re-open a browser, go to youtube, and play a song, the sound will come out.

So, my question is.. is there something missing in my .asoundrc file? can the snd-aloop support multiple playbacks and captures at the same time? is there a way for me to achieve this?
