It commonly is not installed by the distro's, but can be found in ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/plugins/. Mabe your distro calls it (surprisingly) alsa-plugins. Choose your plugin according to your alsa version. You will need to change /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc. Look at my /etc/asound.conf for an example of using it: pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "jack" } } pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1 1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:capture_1 1 alsa_pcm:capture_2 } } This means that I will allways use the jack plugin as my primary alsa device. I also start jackd automatically when I log into kde. Or you can just create another device and use it in your app via a command line parameter. Hope that helps. -- ------------------------------------------- Denis A. Altoe Falqueto -------------------------------------------
