how to link multi plugin to dsnoop ?

[Vincent Meserette]

Hi all,

I would like to allow multiple applications to access the audio inputs and
outputs of my system at same time.
I succeded to make it for the audio outputs by using the dmix plugin, but I
don't know how to do it with the dsnoop plugin because it seems I cannot
link directly the multi plugin to dsnoop.
Here is the error message I have with the /etc/asound.conf file presented
below :

arecord -D"alduplex" -c4 -r48000 -fS16_LE /tmp/test.wav
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1490:(_snd_pcm_direct_get_slave_ipc_offset) Invalid
type 'multi' for slave PCM
arecord: main:654: audio open error: Invalid argument

Does someone know how can I route the multi plugin to dsnoop ?

Thanks in advance

My /etc/asound.conf file :

    type hw
    card 0
}

    ipc_perm 0666
    slave{
        pcm AD1989A_outputs
    }

}

        type multi

        slaves.a.pcm "hw:0,0,0"

        ttable.3.3 1
}

        channels 4
    }

}

pcm.alduplex {
    type asym

The dmix/dshare/dsnoop plugins work only directly on a hardware device.

Use two dsnoop plugins on the hw devices, then tie them together with
a multi.
