My editor at LJ asked an apparently simple question:
In an ALSA-only
environment (no JACK), how can he record system sounds and a mic input
simultaneously when capturing his desktop with xvidcap ? He's working
with an hda-nvidia chipset that I also have on one of my machines, so I
can test any suggestions myself. So far I'm not having much luck
recording anything other than the mic input with xvidcap. So, any
suggestions ? Maybe some dmix or asoundrc wizardry ? Please advise if
more information is needed.
Of course, this was ridiculously easy with recordmydesktop and JACK. :)
Some chips allow to select the master-out for recording. (Mine has a special
button to select "Mix" for recording.)
So everything you output from the computer goes on disk.
If you think about it you will notice: a) you shouldn't do software-
monitoring. b) You should turn down your speakers (or use headphones) when
using the mic.
Have fun,
