Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.23-3
Priority: wishlist
Tags: patch upstream
The speaker-test manpage could be improved somewhat by helping a little bit
the user determine how to find out the devices he can test.
Based on http://alsa.opensrc.org/Speaker-test I have make some changes to the
manpage (diff attached) to describe a little bit more how speaker-test can be
used alongside 'aplay'.
Please consider the following patch for
alsa-utils-1.0.23/speaker-test/speaker-test.1
Following debian/copyright I was going to submit the bug usptream but their
BTS requires me to create a new user so, while I decide whether I want yet
another user to manage or not, I'm submitting it here.
Regards
Javier

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBspeaker\-test\fP generates a tone that can be used to test the speakers of a computer.
+\fBspeaker-test\fP by default will test the \fIdefault\fP device. If you
+want to test another sound device you will have first to get a list of
+all of the sound cards in your system and the devices associated with
+those cards. Notice that there might be for example, one device for
+analog sound, one for digital sound and one for HDMI sound.
+To get the list of available cards and devices you can run \fBaplay -L\fR.
+
+.P \fBaplay\fR's output will be similar to this one:
+
+.nf
+$ aplay -L
+null
+ Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
+default:CARD=ICH5
+ Intel ICH5, Intel ICH5
+ Default Audio Device
+front:CARD=ICH5,DEV=0
+ Intel ICH5, Intel ICH5
+ Front speakers
+surround40:CARD=ICH5,DEV=0
+ Intel ICH5, Intel ICH5
+ 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
+(...)
+.fi
+
+.P Each of the devices is listed in the beginning of the definition so,
+in the above example, there are four devices listed: null, default, front
+and surround40. So, if you want to test the last device you can
+run \fBspeaker-test -Dsurround40:ICH5 -c 6\fR. The \fB-c\fR option will
+indicate that the six audio channels in the device have to be tested.
