Tricky audio problem

[squirrel]

Hello!

I have a problem which I have no idea how to solve. Now it's up to you fellow MyBroadbanders!

Sometimes I want to let people take a listen of what im listening to, I would then mic up my speaker and press "record" over MSN. Instead of doing it this way, is there anyway to trick the "line in" to being the sound of the "line out"? I use Winamp to listen to my music. I'm sure there is some plugin/software that can do this for me?

Thanks

That's one hang of a piece of software there werner ..amazing the kind of things people know about!

unfortunately, cool software like that is exactly what vista has set out to squash. in this case, using the "rights management" PAP (protected audio path) so virtual soundcards like mentioned above will no longer function.

got to your winamp config, and set virtual audio cable as your output soundcard

then go to msn, and set virtual audio cable as the input for your mic.

the software will then route the sound between the two

I cant be more specific, as I'm on vista right now and the software doesnt work on vista and it was 'n moerse long time ago that I used this.

There must be a way of doing this natively in Linux...?
