[linux-audio-dev] ALSA OSS Emulation and emu10k1

Hi, I was wondering, is it possible to assign /dev/dspX devices to the secondary and tertiary PCM devices on an emu10k1? I have a SB Live! Platinum with LiveDrive IR. The stereo out is connected to my regular set of speakers. The surround output is connected to an earphone headset, it's mic is connected to the mic input on my sound card. Also, another microphone is connected to the mic/line on the LIveDrive. Now, I use skype, which is closed source. It uses OSS devices and aoss will not work with it. I would like to have a /dev/dspX device that records from the mic input and plays back to the surround output, so that skype, and skype only, will use the headset. The headset works fine in alsa mode and alsa apps can use it perfectly well. I tried all /dev/dspX and /dev/adspX devices, to no avail. I tries aoss with .asoundrc modifications, no luck. I even read the driver source, but I'm not really conversant with the structure of the driver and couldn't find anything useful. It would take me forever to figure it out from the source code. Is it possible, maybe with module parameters, to make alsa do this? Would it need a patch, if yes, does someone have one? If no, what would have to be done where to make that work? Melanie
