Record line-in audio from two applications using Alsa

Question

Im currently working on an small application which runs on a cubieboard (ARMv7, rasp-pi-like).

What I really need to do is, accessing and recording the line-in audio-signal from two different applications.

The first is PyAudio and the second an Darkice Media Streamer. The Soundcard uses the kernel driver sun4i-CODEC from the developers of the cubieboard. The Audio Layer is currently provided by ALSA Audio.

Currently both applications record from hw:0,0 and they intefere. So if I start the Darkice Client, my Python Script has no access and vice verca.

The Ouput from my arecord -L:

null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default
sysdefault:CARD=sun4icodec
    sun4i-CODEC, sun4i PCM
    Default Audio Device
dmix:CARD=sun4icodec,DEV=0
    sun4i-CODEC, sun4i PCM
    Direct sample mixing device
dsnoop:CARD=sun4icodec,DEV=0
    sun4i-CODEC, sun4i PCM
    Direct sample snooping device
hw:CARD=sun4icodec,DEV=0
    sun4i-CODEC, sun4i PCM
    Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=sun4icodec,DEV=0
    sun4i-CODEC, sun4i PCM
    Hardware device with all software conversions

This is my amixerOutput:

So whats the best solution to solve this problem? Splitting the stereo-input in two different decices? Use another audio-layer? I don't know!

Thank you in advance,
