EDIT:
Code: Select all
note that I used -q 1 as an option to alsa_in/out. This has to do with the resampling quality. At 2.3ms latency, 96kHz s.r. on a 2 x 2.4 GHz dual core CPU system and using Jack2, I get a low CPU usage (1-2%) and the quality is reasonable. If you push it to 2, 3 or 4, the CPU will increase quite a lot at small buffering / latency
what would be 100% quality? -q 1 I get obvious distorcion. -q 2 I can't here any diference

solved that way:

# playback PCM device: using loopback subdevice 0,0
pcm.amix {
type dmix
ipc_key 219345
slave {
pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0"

buffer_size 2048
rate 44100
}
}
# capture PCM device: using loopback subdevice 0,1
pcm.asnoop {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 219346
slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,0,1"
}
# duplex device combining our PCM devices defined above
pcm.aduplex {
type asym
playback.pcm "amix"
capture.pcm "asnoop"
}
# ------------------------------------------------------
# for jack alsa_in and alsa_out: looped-back signal at other ends
pcm.ploop {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:Loopback,1,1"
}
pcm.cloop {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 219348
slave {
pcm "hw:Loopback,1,0"
period_size 1024
buffer_size 2048
rate 44100
}
}
# ------------------------------------------------------
# default device
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "aduplex"
hint {
show on
description "default_show"
}
}
added "show on" to default device, too; to let it show up in all apps (only this way it shows up for phonon-Xine for example)

hey! great stuff, so all is working for you now
You could add a comment in the ALSA howto page

like I said, I still have a problem with java-sound. I have to close all alsa-apps before running REW, to here an output and I can't manage to get a signal on input
rest is working verry good

damn, loopback device is so buggy(?)
had to change PC..
same distro, same packages, only 32bits now.
same home directory, same config-files
loopback-device is there
but jack only recognizes loopback "1", "1.0" and "1.1"
script is started but no ports in jack, no error message
damn

Archers: liquorix kernel 2.6.37 from AUR now has the module included
I guess it will be also when install the liquorix kernel in other distros

that's great news but I can't use it with the crappy snd-hda-intel card I got... the only kernel and can run audio is the RT on my laptop but my old pc, kernels 2.6.36 and 37 working amazingly with jack but it's not that powerful for my needs..
