dsnoop

[Patrick Shirkey <pshirkey@boosthardware.com>]

I'm using older alsa drivers so maybe this is fixed already.

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.3c.
Compiled on May 25 2003 for kernel 2.4.19 with versioned symbols.

I can sucessfully run two instances of arecord with the dsnoop plugin 
but I get an error with my intel8x0 that doesn't occur while using my 
cmipci:

arecord: set_params:847: Can't use period equal to buffer size (7526 == 
7526)

The number above is directly related to the buffer_size option below. 
7526 corresponds to buffer size of 8192. If I use a lower size like 4096 
it is:

arecord: set_params:847: Can't use period equal to buffer size (3763 == 
3763)


Here's the definition I use in my .asoundrc

pcm.mixin {
         type dsnoop
         ipc_key 5978293	# must be unique for all dmix plugins!!!!
         ipc_key_add_uid yes
         slave {
                 pcm "hw:0,0"
		channels 2
		period_size 1024
		buffer_size 4096
		rate 44100
         }
         bindings {
                 0 0
                 0 1
         }
}

  Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke 
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets 
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. 
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before 
the arrival of U.S. troops.
