Just for the record, gqrx can already use any audio input device as long as they support 96 kHz stereo.
How? Does it just need to see a suitable soundcard at startup?
The comment was made when only the Funcube Dongle was supported, which is an audio input device. Since the switch to gr-osmosdr it is no longer true and new implementation is necessary.
@csete Right now, as a softrock rxtx guy, my understanding is that generic audio support isn't implemented. Is this still the case?
If so, any hints on where in the code where to begin this?
This is now theoretically possible through the SoapySDR driver. Someone needs to test it and report back.
Nobody to test it.
SoapySDRUtil --find not finding my laptops built-in sound card therefore i think gqrx isnt working with it. en1gma@M4800:~$ lsb_release LSB Version: core-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:printing-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:security-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch en1gma@M4800:~$ uname -a Linux M4800 4.18.0-19-generic #20~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 26 09:04:23 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux en1gma@M4800:~$ SoapySDRUtil --info ######################################################
