What I want to do, is use sox as a voice changer for Teamspeak in online games. I have got the voice changing bit down, but how to I edit .asoundrc to make a virtual ALSA device that Teamspeak will see as a microphone? Or any other application for that matter.

My .asoundrc contains this, although it doesn't appear to work:

Code:
pcm.sox {
    type file
    format "raw"
    slave.pcm "default"
    file '/dev/null'
    infile '/home/silent/soxpipe'
}

You can use a loopback device for this:
Code:
# modprobe snd-aloop
$ sox -t alsa hw:0,0 <effects list> -t alsa hw:Loopback

and then have the other program use the loopback as input.

Thank you very much! I will try this!

EDIT: It appears as though that module doesn't exist or isn't installed. I'll try to find it.

EDIT: Thank you SO much! ::D
