The problem: I'm trying to configure my gus pnp to a 4-channel configuration, composed of its two 2-channel devices. Not any use, I know, as its two separate stereo devices output to the same stereo output jack, but a nice way to experiment and learn about asound.conf's intricacies. I haven't been able to make it work yet, see error messages: knan@frankenstein:~/musikk$ aplay -D mulplug test.wav Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo aplay: pcm_params.c:781: snd_pcm_hw_param_set_near: Assertion `err >= 0' failed. knan@frankenstein:~/musikk$ aplay -D mul test.wav Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo aplay: set_params:727: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available The error messages suggest misconfiguration. But the way I understand doc/asoundrc.txt, this should be correct? Can anyone spot the error? Thanks in advance for any help. /etc/asound.conf: pcm.gus { type hw card 0 device 0 } pcm.gus_plug { type plug slave.pcm gus } pcm.gussynth { type hw card 0 device 1 } pcm.gussynth_plug { type plug slave.pcm gussynth } pcm.mul { type multi slaves { a { pcm gus channels 2 } b { pcm gussynth channels 2 } } bindings { 0 { slave a channel 0 } 1 { slave a channel 1 } 2 { slave b channel 0 } 3 { slave b channel 1 } } } pcm.mulplug { type plug slave.pcm mul } -- Erik I.
