[linux-audio-dev] simultanious access to audio input

[Robert Ross]

Hi,
My appologies for what is probably a naive and confused question...

I need to allow multiple programs/processes to take data from the same 
audio device at the same time. My initial imprtession is that audio 
devices are still set up only to allow one process to access them at a 
time. Is there some way to allow multiple processes to take input from 
the same audio device at the same time?

A playback analogy might be how normally you can't have two processes 
play8ing data at the same time, but ARTS can take multiple audio streams 
and then play them out throug the one device.

Many thanks for any advice you can give...
