In other words, native ALSA applications can play and record -sound across a network. - -There are two plugins in the suite, one for PCM and one for mixer control. A -typical configuration will look like: - - pcm.polyp { - type polyp - } - - ctl.polyp { - type polyp - } - -Put the above in ~/.asoundrc, or /etc/asound.conf, and use "polyp" as device -in your ALSA applications. For example: - - % aplay -Dpolyp foo.wav - % amixer -Dpolyp - -Polypaudio will accept more or less any format you throw at it. So a plug -wrapper is unnecessary. Mixing is also handled so dmix will only cause a -performance hit without any gain. - -The plugins will respect your Polypaudio environment variables (like -POLYP_SERVER), but you can override these in ALSA's configuration files. - -Both plugins accept the "server" parameter, specifying which Polypaudio server -to contact. Both also accept the "device" parameter, which indicate which -source and sink to use. - -The mixer control plugin also accepts the parameters "source" and "sink" for -when you need to specify a sink/source combination with different names. If -you need to do this with PCM:s then specify two PCM:s with different "device". - -If you do not specify any source and/or sink, then the server's defaults will -be used. |
