--- Comment #4 from Tanu Kaskinen <[email protected]> --- If the sound card probing takes several seconds, it's an issue in the alsa kernel driver. It shouldn't take that long. PulseAudio tries to access those nonexistent devices, because the best way to figure out whether a given alsa device can be used is to actually try to use it. Also, PulseAudio doesn't directly use the /dev/snd/* files; instead, PulseAudio uses logical device names like "front", "surround51", "iec958" and "hdmi". Alsa's configuration files define how those names map to the actual device files. The seemingly random selection of device numbers is due to the hdmi device numbering convention in alsa. PulseAudio probes devices named "hdmi:x,[0-7]", and the hdmi devices numbered 0-7 typically correspond to actual device numbers 3 and 7-13 (I don't know the history behind that convention). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
