yeah i know.
however, i was not interested in the "normal" way, but rather in the
"explicit" way, where i would do everything manually (hoping to build
an asoundrc on top of my experiences with doing it manually)

doh!

this is basically the answer i was looking for.
thanks a lot!

yes, i was aware of that.
but then i also was under the impression that i "had it working" with
alsa_in/alsa_out (though in practice i had some problems doing so when
composing the email, so i silently skipped that part), so i was
assuming that the problem was really with zita-ajbridge. from my
experience with both mplayer/zita-ajbridge (mplayer refusing to write
to the device when not being in S16_LE/2chan mode) and with
v4l2-loopback devices, i assumed/know that sometimes both producer and
consumer must agree on the same format.

anyhow, thanks for your quick answer.
