URL Snooper.

Excerpt from main page: "Many links to streaming audio and video that you come across on the web are hidden behind javascript or activex scripts. Because of this, it is sometimes very difficult to figure out the actual urls that correspond to the streams being played. URL Snooper provides easy solution to finding the URLs for all streams by by watching network traffic and identifying potential urls, especially streaming media urls."

Pulseaudio. Many websites (and linux distros) shit on it and say you "just need alsa", but alsa itself can't play sound from two applications at a time. It also has problems with recording sound from USB soundcards (despite any asoundrc "hacks", I still couldn't manage it), but Pulse allows that easily. It also allows to set different volumes for each application. I wasted too much time listening to these sites that said "you just need alsa man, pulse is dead! Here's an asoundrc hack that totally doesn't work!" but I finally just got Pulse and I'm glad.

This!


 No.3642

>>3614

I didn't fuck up anything aside from trusting all these websites. I used whatever is the default and that couldn't play from multiple applications nor record from a USB soundcard (it recorded from the microphone instead). Then I "learned" that various "asoundrc hacks" will solve that but they didn't, so I jumped to the only available solution.

Great that it works for you, but it didn't for me. Try recording from an USB soundcard with ffmpeg and tell me if it works with plain alsa (no, really, I'm interested).
