yes i hope this will be possible. First we have to update all ports to use libsndio, because while aucat is running, programs trying to open directly /dev/audio will fail with "Device busy". if that's not a problem for you, you can run it at system startup, for instance i run this from /etc/rc.local: nice -n -20 su -m nobody -c "aucat -l -f /dev/audio3 &" 2>/tmp/log it's not yet polished for such use, but it should work and help testing ;) -- Alexandre
