Greetings all,

I've been trying to learn about ALSA this weekend. After reading a few 
HOWTOs and FAQs, I decided  to implement a simple program. Rather than 
cut n' paste some of the examples, I tried to write a small one myself. 
Unfortunately I'm running into some problems, and I'm not sure if my 
approach is even correct. Basically I would like to just read stuff from 
the capture device, and send it straight into the playback device.

Should be simple, but I find that each example I look at is different, 
and uses a some different hardware /software parameters to achieve the 
same thing..

Anyway, was hoping if some of you are so inclined, could you eyeball my 
program and give me some tips? I have a feeling I'm making lots of 
mistakes (due to misunderstanding some key concepts, probably). It's 
really quite a short program..
