Comment(by aelschuring):
I've posted a patch on alsa-devel today to at least get the patch for
front:0 merged. I'm also experimenting with a solution that will allow PA
and other applications to access front: and spdif: at the same time, which
is currently not possible because any access to one of the channels will
cause the entire device to be locked. That's a fundamental property of
ALSA, and I think any solution I can come up with will be hackish.
Is there a difference between the iec958: and spdif: devices? Because
currently the card defines only the first of the two.
We could probably ask for fourch: and sixch: definitions, but I don't
think the ALSA guys will really like them. At least they do make more
sense than surround* definitions, but there is just one minor issue: ALSA
uses one configuration file for all ice1712 cards (no subsystem-id
separation possible in ALSA), so I'm really hoping to keep that file as
generic as possible: I'm currently leaning towards only three devices,
which are front:, spdif: and an all-channel (8) definition.
