Ah, that would be cool. I'm not really intimate with PortAudio, but my main application, Pure Data (not written by me ;), is using it in parallel to direct ALSA/JACK/OSS backends. The goal is, to switch to PA fully, but it would very annoying not to be able to select ALSA devices by name. Actually from a developer's perspective, ALSA's PCM configuration system is rather simple: Just use the name (char*) the user provides where you'd otherwise use something like "hw:0" or "default". The only problem is, that this is not enumarable. But not providing the possibility for a user, to specify a PCM name, is like trying to outsmart the user. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
