[Alsa-user] es1879 or sb16, full duplex - Update

[Gustavo H. <ga...@me...>]

I am sending an update to my previous message. Below , you can see the re=
sults=20
of several trials with the alsa drivers I have installed in my system.

Even though the card is supposed to be sb16 compatible the only driver I =
am=20
able to load is snb-sb8. All the others: sb16, sbawe and es1879 fail.

Sb8 works for playing (bad quality) but I can't record as cat /dev/dsp do=
esn't=20
return anything, and I realised that the driver doesn't support multiple=20
openings (echo asdasd > /dev/dsp hangs until the device is free).

Just to remind you, what I need is to get full-dupex out of this card, wh=
ich=20
according to the vendor should work, since the kernel driver doesn't supp=
ort=20
it. However, I would need to use the OSS API, since AFAIK it is what=20
gnomemeeting uses.

Any help is welcome.

Best regards
Gustavo
