Thanks!
   I'm working with this.

   As a result, my work will be noted here:

Hi,

Note that there is also a Audio Manager tool http://docs.projects.genivi.org/AudioManager/ which can also allow you to link up arbitrary sources and sinks, designed specifically for the IVI context by GENIVI. The source code is licensed under the MPL (permissive free software license) and there is already a known configuration done with Murphy.

Cheers,

Jeremiah

Hi, Alexander, Dmitriy Beykun

    Thanks for your reply!
    I ask question here because I'm using MCIMX6Q-SDP.
    From your answer I understand that both pulseaudio and alsa can route audio stream.
    In my case, I will do it in pulseaudio.
    Actually, I want to porting imx6q multi-media to tizen IVI.
    Tizen ivi profile has murphy to control resources which include audio stream.
    
    Tizen IVI community has told me that I should config pulseaudio-murphy-ivi plugin. I will try this one.

    Thanks!

You are right of course, but alsa-way requires more efforts to
configure such setups. Considering how initial question was
formulated, I've provided simplest possible answer. I just assumed
that Ray had no clear understanding how pulseaudio and alsa are
working by asking such questions, since they are suppose basic linux
knowledge.

I hope Ray now has complete answer. :)
