Hello, perhaps this rediculous and
non-sensical... I have an audio
application outputing sound to the jack input client
alsa_pcm:playback_1. This is a physical playback device on a soundcard.
In addition to playing this back out of the sound card I would also like
to record it to a wav file on the hard drive. Does anybody have any
ideas for doing this. Perhaps a third jack client that has an input and
an output and just writes anything from the input to the output.
timemachine
just connect the apps output to the timemachine inputs AND the
alsa_pcm:playback ports.
Hmpfh, well, as I have been trying to point out some times already,
timemachine is a program for capturing what you might have thought you
could use, while programs such as ardour, jackrec or jack_capture are
programs for capturing what are sure you want to use. timemachine is
great, but it doesn't seem to me like anyone understand its purpose(!)...
(timemachine captures x time of sound before pressing record, a great
idea, but its for a little bit different purpose than this).
So, to my point, which (of course) was mostly to promote my own program:
Use jack_capture,

you want, and as simple as possible.
