The VideoLAN Forums

I have been stuck on this for a long time. I have a multi-channel audio card and wish to stream multiple, distinct audio stream sources to specific local [wave] outputs, but I'd like to condense this process to a single or VLM instance instead of running multiple VLC instances with discrete configs.

I seek to do this:
Stream 1 -> Wave Device 1/2
Stream 2 -> Wave Device 3/4
...

Can a local WAVE device be specified for stream output via SOUT? If so, will someone please assist with the correct vernacular to do this?

No. You would need to run one VLC instance for each stream - or program to the LibVLC C API directly.

If you really want to use VLM, then you can select #display as the stream output, and migrate the VLC audio stream from an external mixer. Not sure how well that works on Windows and it's inconvenient anyway.
