i think this is the wrong solution. i believe the correct solution is to provide a **simple** way to get every defined PCM device name. a config database for cards doesn't cover multi devices, or channel subsets, or share devices, etc. etc. >> in addition this also doesn't deal with the issue of users with more >> than one soundcard installed. > >this is not difficult, since the card number can be passed via >CARD argument. thats not my point. an application that wants to provide a way to select the audio input and output needs to be able to know which all the PCM devices that are defined. the whole beauty of the naming system is that its based around physical cards, but that also means that card numbers are not the right way to start thinking about this. --p ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
