Capturing from /dev/dsp

pugilism · 04-18-2006, 01:32 PM

I have an application that is playing to /dev/dsp, i want to capture this sound while it's playing and stream it to another application but it's giving me an "device in use" error, which is obvious. What can i use to multiplex /dev/dsp?

Well, search for some streaming recorder or such... You have to preload something replacing writing to /dev/dsp with loging. I've tuned the following for myself:
http://bigtip.narod.ru/sourcetip/dumper_c
- a rewrite of some other program to do similar thing. Read the source, and export LD_PRELOAD showing to it (containing full path of shared library resulting from compilation with --shared) before running player.

Or search for ready, easy to use solution.
