Issue recording Audacity and Streaming DarkIce at the same time.

rafael2k / darkice

DarkIce is a live audio streamer. It records audio from an audio interface (e.g. sound card), encodes it and sends it to a streaming server. This is the official development repository of Darkice.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Recording in Audacity
2. Streaming to Shotcast Server
3. Doing 1 and 2 at the same time.
This works flawlessly in Windows however i can reproduce it in Linux.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected these to work side by side.  

If audacity is recording I get: 
DarkIce: DarkIce.cpp:1187: can't open connector [0]

If I start the stream first then Audacity won't record at all.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using the repository versions of both Audacity and DarkIce on Ubuntu 10.4 

Please provide any additional information below.

Unfortunatly I require both to run on one machine. I'm wanting to do a 
conversion to Linux on my machines however I need this to work if I am going to 
so.

What "sound system" are you using? "Default" (on Ubuntu) pulseaudion? How did you set up your programs? Did you ever try to use jack? Did you try to record the same datasource with two instances of Audacity? I Did the same here in my machine using jack and it is no problem at all. Most likely not a darkice problem.
