[Alsa-user] pcm vs pcm2 channel

2006-01-05 Thread Paul Fox
hi -- i understand that sometimes channels are mislabeled, and that pcm2 sometimes means headphones, or main, but assuming that that's not the case, does the presence of a pcm2 channel imply that one could play two digital sources at once (e.g., two wav files) and have them mixed by the hardware?

You have to make sure all your ALSA apps are using the default PCM. what does this mean, exactly? /dev/dsp? /dev/dsp is the OSS emulation device. I was referring to native ALSA. i see. so i guess there's no per-channel device node under alsa? You can't cat files
