.SH NAME
|
|
alsaloop \- command-line PCM loopback
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBalsaloop\fP [\fI\-option\fP] [\fIcmd\fP]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
\fBalsaloop\fP allows create a PCM loopback between a PCM capture device
|
|
and a PCM playback device.
|
|
|
|
\fBalsaloop\fP supports multiple soundcards, adaptive clock synchronization,
|
|
adaptive rate resampling using the samplerate library (if available in
|
|
the system). Also, mixer controls can be redirected from one card to
|
|
another (for example Master and PCM).
