Hi, sorry for those general questions, but I wasn't able to find anything on the archives or in the ALSA documentation. What is the meaning of devices vs. subdevices ? What is an example where a device would have several subdevices, as opposed to the card having several devices ? I want to display a list of available "ports" where the user can send the audio generated by the program. If a device has several subdevices, would I include them in the list, or just list the devices for each card ? My program successfully lists the cards with their devices and subdevices for hw: (i.e. snd_ctl_open("hw:0") ). However, this does not work for the plughw: way, although from what I understood, I want to use plughw: (as it is supposed to support automatic sample rate conversion). How do I iterate all available plughw: "cards", devices, and subdevices? Or can I assume that if hw:0,0 exists, that plughw:0,0 is the same card/device - and I just can't iterate available plughw:'s directly ? Thanks!
