(whatever - > multiplexing, adding, modulating...) I guess I mixed up some things with all those replies. As it is said on the 2nd link, "full duplex means that the sound card can make sound and receive sound at the same time". It's the same thing defintion as for a network ethernet card in fact. I was sure that playing two sources simultaneously was a thing you could do only with a full duplex card, because that's what I was told during my classes. As I haven't got a non-full duplex card, I couldn't werify that. But all the replies make me believe I was wrong on this point. I got confused about mixing and full duplex terms, but again, I don't know if a simple card can play two sources at a time. If someone could verify that, that would clear my mind :) Sorry for the bothering and/or the mess, -- Lucas Moulin <lucas@brebis.org> "Why go against tradition when we can admit defeat, live in decline, be the victim of our own design" -- NOFX
