[linux-audio-user] Rip sound from a VCD - Linux-audio-user

11 May 2006

Dear all,
I was trying to rip some sound from a VCD today.  I was 
hoping to play it in one ALSA application (Kaffeine) and 
simultaneously record in another (Rosegarden or Rezound).  
But when I tried to launch the recording application, it 
said it had no access to the audio.  

I also tried launching Rezound, then Kaffeine.  This time, 
Kaffeine said it couldn't access the PCM, and it played 
without audio.

Does this mean applications can't share the sound under 
ALSA?  Or am I missing something?

I'm running Gentoo with 2.6.16 kernel, ALSA 1.0.10 (I think 
- not quite sure how to check this).

Any hints welcome.
