I don't know if this is standard across distributions, but I'd sure be nice if we could query the /proc/asound files to get the list of available ALSA ports or use an appropriate ALSA function call to iterate the ports. If we're going to offer the drop down options, why not show what's available instead of a hard coded value?
Oh, oh. Me sir, me sir..... Yes I can answer this one....
Basically, I "acquired" a small baby two weeks ago and have pretty much run out of time to eat, sleep and breathe... However, I thought this was a useful first start.
To be honest it has been sitting in my tree for a while whilst thinking about whether I could do what you suggested. However, I think that the best thing to do is actually just enumerate the physical devices and then offer ALSA:plughw:X - if you try to offer all the sub devices then you will have a 2,000 item list by the time you get all the auto generated stuff out of the way. I think there is little reason to need more than plughw and the device number since if you really need anything more than that then you are presumably also capable of figuring out how to use a keyboard and type in the correct details?
What do you think?
