This is not entirely true.? If you configure Direwolf to use an ALSA device, you're right.. Direwolf will want exclusive access to that sound card.?

To route the audio from the shared sound device, you will need to install and run the "pavucontrol" program.
Hello David,
My understanding is that the default audio device is the ALSA device. I'm probably wrong and I'll test that idea.
All that said, what are you doing that you would want to SHARE audio coming from your radio to both Direwolf and something else?
I was receiving SSTV from the ISS using SDRconnect and QSSTV. When the ISS experimented ended I thought I'd try receiving APRS messages from the ISS but I quickly discovered that SDRConnect and Direwolf won't cooperate with each other because of the shared audio device. I overcame that problem by using GQRX which has an inbuilt ARRS viewer.
If I were to use my FT-991A then there isn't problem because the use of the radio introduces a new audio device which means that there isn't a shared audio device.
