I can't answer these questions, but have a question about one idea in here.

I don't think broadcasting audio (would this be music??) through Skype would create the greatest audio, since Skype is so sensitive to packet loss & all. Each (small) packet has to be received at its destination in perfect order, and on-time. If one or more hops that your signal is taking is running slow (as it gets in Worcester in the evenings), then packets get lost and have to be resubmitted. Check your technical details next time you're in a skype convo, then do a traceroute on the IP of your skype contact --you can see this happening. If this is the case when you're sending recorded audio through it, you would be likely to suffer from chopped-up sound, which happens in skype a lot. So if you broadcast through skype and there's a lot of latency, or if your router is swamped because there's a lot of traffic inside of your network, then you would end up making square waves in the skype out of what probably started out as a perfectly nice audio signal.  You could try to counteract that (I guess) by running some kind of QOS in your router, but even that itself slows the router down a little bit, as every packet has to be evaluated according to your QOS table.

Just wondering.

Stupid Intel decided to build-in DRM into the spec of these things. I have a
Conexant which has Nvidia codec to provide audio for the HDMI output (this
works fine except that in alsa settings I have to force a default output
device, 3).

What I'd like to do is be able to record from the stereo mixer, which I have
none in alsamixer. So how do I go about creating one? I've tried a few
different configs I found on-line but nothing seemed to work for me.

WIth this capability of course I could record audio from my computer in say,
Audacity, or I could even broadcast audio through Skype. And the best part
would be if I could broadcast audio through Skype AND use my headset at the
same time (mixing the 2 into one channel input). I have 3 mic inputs
apparently (one of them is webcam, another is the jack, and I don't know what
the 3rd one is).

So far I know it's something I can do with ALSA settings where I can tell ALSA
to redirect audio and 'copy' whatever is going on on any input channel
(overriding the jack of course). No luck there yet.

Any help appreciated
Thanks
