Hi,

I would like to record at the same time where I play a sound.
(i can than looking into the recorded file to see if there is a sound with minimun signal strength, its for testing if speaker mic are working)
problem is with
arecord .....&
aplay ...

arecord complains that the device is blocked.

how can I run them in the same time?
