Interesting page !
I compiled the aloop module and it works fine, but
when I try setting up
the asoundrc as described, and use the device, I get.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:654: audio open error: Invalid argument
Does anyone know what this uninformative error mean? Has anybody ever
had luck with a similar setup?
I get similar errors, except that the second one is
'Device or resource busy' instead of 'Invalid argument'.
Maybe it's the dmix on top of all the rest. I've seen
other cases where dmix wouldn't mix (pun not intended)
with its peers.
