The software you use has to support "multiple opens". Some hardware and driver combinations let you open the driver multiple times and the hardware/driver can figure out how things are supposed to happen. The common example of this is the emu10k1 drivers for the SB Live - the OSS drivers support opening /dev/dsp multiple times. Each time you open it for playback, you get a different hardware mixer channel. When you playback sound, the card's hardware mixer mixes the streams you're playing and you hear them. It sounds like you want the input version of this. The way I understand it, the first time you open /dev/dsp, you should get the first channel. The second time, you should get the second channel, and so on. I have no idea if there are OSS drivers that support multiple opens for ice1712 cards. If ALSA's OSS emulation does multiple opens correctly, I would guess that this would just work. Have you actually tried it? -- Ross Vandegrift ross(a)willow.seitz.com A Pope has a Water Cannon.
