"trivial"? clearly, you are working entirely in a world filled with consumer-style devices and consumer-style applications. in such a situation, perhaps, just perhaps, "pointing to the right sound card" is "trivial". but in general, this is not a trivial task. does the user want to share access to the soundcard with other application? does the user want to use *part* of an existing multichannel card for your application? does the user want to use a soundcard whose sample rate is controlled by an external device, and cannot be set by the application? and so on and so forth ... you cannot infer what the possible PCM devices are in general from looking at the installed hardware. there will be other programmers who will write good, simple configuration tools to create and edit ~/.asoundrc. why are you trying to sidestep their work by using a hack like "plughw:N,0" ? --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
