can one reliably find out which snd_ctl_elem controls the gain of a specific channel in a pcm stream?
looking at what snd_ctl_elem_list() returns for the audiophile (ice1712) there does not seem to be a portable way to do so. i could enumerate them and say 'oh yeah, playback mixer 1 must be channel 1 in the playback stream' but this obviously isn't the right way to do it. is there a way to do this programmatically (without heuristics, string parsing and other alchemy) or does this in fact require human user knowledge? tim _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
