The best I've managed is running: pamon -r alsa_output.pci-0000_02_09.0.analog-surround-40.monitor and pamon -p alsa_output.pci-0000_02_09.0.analog-surround-40.monitor Which has a noticeable latency between the two. There's a delay corresponding to the difference in starting time, but even trying the latency and raw options I can't eliminate it. Is the difference possibly because I'm using a recording input as source? (To be sure we're on the same page I'm effectively trying to monitor line-in.) -- imalone -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
