It depends on your specific sound card, whether OSS and/or ALSA support it in full duplex mode. If you have a SoundBlaster 16 (ViBRA based), OSS (even the pay version) only supports half duplex. ALSA supports full, i'm impatiently waiting for ALSA 0.40 to be debianized! - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN9W+G77M/9WKZLW5AQGrdwP8Dol/BsInAHtOtfRPcXMEJ/IO4SsZV9+1 OQezo7VpomyN2B8Af+e0u2Z2hVNABEZ6j5vJu6GS8plYZVHjr0905aHcYKCIyb+b w1POtpzXOYUsxKmXgYLM4bvj73Ar41E1Bj+A3OhzA55UQt4n58kpssRZGdNgKr6q tHSygGDDRaI= =HbjI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
