Can Linux play mplayer on 2 hardware output (alsamixer -c X)?

frenchn00b · 06-13-2009, 10:59 PM

Hello,

I have my sound card on alsamixer -c 0
and an headset on alsamixer -c 3

Since every morning I get the news from stream, I would like that it plays it (mplayer) on my device -c 0 and -c 3 at same time.

How could we make that with our Linux box?

thanks

In man it is only specified that one single alsa can be used. I may be wrong.

man mplayer you lazy git

Code:

-ao <driver1[:suboption1[=value]:...],driver2,...[,]>
              Specify a priority list of audio output drivers to be used.

       If  the  list  has a trailing ',' MPlayer will fall back on drivers not
       contained in the list.  Suboptions are optional and can mostly be omit-
       ted.
       NOTE: See -ao help for a list of compiled-in audio output drivers.

       EXAMPLE:
                 -ao alsa,oss,
                      Try the ALSA driver, then the OSS driver, then others.
                 -ao alsa:noblock:device=hw=0.3
                      Sets  noblock-mode  and  the  device-name as first card,
                      fourth device.
