Re: [Alsa-devel] Re: ice1712 driver broken in 2.6.1-mm kernels
The one problem is I still can't play different wave files
simultaneously through the two outputs.
If I start aplay -D maudio_spdif 12.wav and then try to do aplay -D
plug:maudio_analog 11.wav at the same time, the second one just blocks
until the first one is done.
This is unfortunate, since I'd really like to be able to run two-room
sound from my computer into different amplifiers and speakers. I'm sure
there's a way to do it, since the hardware is capable of it...
Now after thinking this, I think ecasound is the right tool for this.
Create a device to .asoundrc: (with correct card number of course)
pcm.2496_4ch
{
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.2.8 1
ttable.3.9 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
}
Then use ecasound with this device, and take input from two sources and
send them to the appropriate channels, first input to channels 12, second
to channels 34.
I don't know the right way to do this, but I know that it can be done.
Since ecasound can split 4 channel wav to separate channels, I don't see
why it wouldn't join two stereo samples to one 4 channel sample.
Maybe you'll have to ask this from ecasound-list

Shouldn't there be separate devices for the analog SPDIF inputs and
outputs? If not, how do I send different signals to the analog
digital outputs?
You have to create .asoundrc to your home directory.
(example as below)
Thanks for the tip. I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't work for
me. My .asoundrc now has this in it:
pcm.maudio_analog {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
pcm.maudio_spdif {
type plug
ttable.0.8 1
ttable.1.9 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
}
I can play sound fine through the analog channel:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] thoffman]$ aplay -D plug:maudio_analog 12.wav
Playing WAVE '12.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz,
Stereo
But when I try to use the spdif channel, I get an error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] thoffman]$ aplay -D plug:maudio_spdif 12.wav
Playing WAVE '12.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz,
Stereo
aplay: pcm_write:1083: write error: Invalid argument
So, still no success using the digital output channel...

It should be -D maudio_spdif, so lose the plug: and it will work. I think
the analog should also work without plug.

I think this kind of plug device would be popular among 5.1 owners, where you could define what input goes to what output. Something like: -D dmix_rear -D dmix_front etc.. But how to separate them from the mix? Anyway, dmix allows multiple instances to use the soundcard, so it's a start. Maybe the plugins can be linked so that output of one goes to input of the other. I guess this can be done, but I'm not any .asoundrc magician. Or ttable bindings... http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php3 Tommi --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

Re: [Alsa-devel] Re: ice1712 driver broken in 2.6.1-mm kernels
Just one problem remains to be solved for this card: The Audiophile
24/96 is a 4-in, 4-out card (stereo analog input and output, plus
independent SPDIF input and output). But only one set of inputs and
outputs is showing up for use:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] thoffman]$ cat /proc/asound/pcm
01-00: ICE1712 multi : ICE1712 multi : playback 1 : capture 1
Shouldn't there be separate devices for the analog SPDIF inputs and
outputs? If not, how do I send different signals to the analog
digital outputs?
You have to create .asoundrc to your home directory.
for spdif, put:
pcm.2496_spdif
{
type plug
ttable.0.8 1
ttable.1.9 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
}
(If I remember correctly, your card was no. 1, if not, change 'card 1')
This device can be used like this:
aplay -D 2496_spdif foo.wav
arecord -D 2496_spdif -f dat bar.wav
For combined analog digital performance (4 channels):
pcm.2496_4ch
{
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.2.8 1
ttable.3.9 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
}
then record 4 channels:
arecord -D 2496_4ch -c 4 -f cd foobar.wav
I'm not sure how you can easily send different signals to analog digital
outputs. I guess if you have 4 channel wav, the first two channels will be
played to analog and 34 to digital output.
