3 quick notes:
1) i prefer:
pcm.dsp1 {
type plughw
card 1
}
as the way to define the "flexible" access to card 1. the "plughw"
type is a little more efficient (says abramo) than "plug" when the
slave is a "hw" device.
2) ardour no longer has anything to do with ALSA or audio h/w - all
access is via jack ...
3) jack doesn't require raw access, it will work with more or less any
PCM device that can do either 32 or 16 bit samples for both capture
and playback streams, and also supports mmap access. there is a
limitation at this time that it can't support more than 32
channels, which will need to be fixed sometime soon. there is also
a limitation that it requires the ability to set the period count
to 2, which will also be fixed sometime soon.
