Hi,

This brings me to the question, if it wouldn't be possible to achieve
something similar to Vsound with the use of ALSA's plugin
architecture. Reding a bit through the asoundrc docs at
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html, I
found the plugin:
 File
 This plugin stores contents of a PCM stream to file.
 pcm.name {
        type file               # File PCM
        slave STR               # Slave name
        # or
        slave {                 # Slave definition
                pcm STR         # Slave PCM name
                # or
                pcm { }         # Slave PCM definition
        }
        file STR                # Filename
        or
        file INT                # File descriptor number
        [format STR]            # File format (only "raw" at the moment)
 }
Now this obviously is intended to be used for capturing the sound of
an application to a file. Did anyone use this already? And would this
work for ALSA's OSS emulation, as well?
ciao
