You can tell any ALSA program to use a specific device by using a device name like plughw:x,y if you know the card and device numbers. If you're using PulseAudio, you have to tell it to use that device.

[Alsa-user] ymfpci drive capability - help needed with setup
Last night I tried an experiment. I took a second computer, installed a Yamaha WF-192XG card, then loaded the i386 version of 64Studio on top. To my shock (I'm still shocked) Rosegarden worked first time - very promising. Rosegarden seemed to be using Timidity for it's sound conversion. But the WF-192XG, of course, has a wavetable on board. Not just any wavetable, an XG wavetable with effects and Soundius on board. Much as I love Timidity (and I love Timidity) I'd like to use the wavetable too, but it wasn't showing. I looked in proc, tried amidi -l, and tried enabling in etcmodprobe.dalsa-base (though I don't know what I'm doing there), but nothing showing. The only hint is in alsamixer, which has a couple of unexplained audio outputs? I searched the mail list, but found no reference to anything like this, so I'm posting... Questions, Can ymfpci access the WF-192XG wavetable? (I tried looking in some recent source code, and though this was only a brief glance, there did seem to be references to XG and XG mapping?) If so, how would the wavetable appear? (I assumed I'd have a labelled midi input, though by what name, I don't know) If the driver can access the wavetable, does anyone have any clues, or examples, of how I would set up the module to make this happen? (Ok, this is implementation specific, but I know nothing of modules and modprobing, so something to work on would help) Regards, and thanks in advance for any help, Rob -- OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.

[Alsa-user] MOTU micro lite (USB, 5in, 5out)
Hi, I have a MOTU micro lite (USB, 5x MIDI IN and 5x MIDI OUT, Vendor ID 0x07fd, product ID 0x0001). According to the kernel usb-audio device driver source code, this device should be supported as its USB vendor and product ID are listed in a table in linux/sound/usb/usbmidi.c. Yet the driver seems to take no notice of the deivce - even if I give the vendor/product IDs on the modprobe command line. lsusb identifies it as a Fastlane device, although I see from previous posts (one from 2006: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15907.html) that this is believed to be a 2in/2out device unlike mine. Any ideas if this can/should work and how to do so? What are the issues beyond simply lack of information from MOTU? Sadly, I also just noticed (http://qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3172) that apparently this hasn't worked for sometime now.

[Alsa-user] Fragment size
Hello List-users! I have been dealing with this for quite some time now and I cannot get to the point. I have a rather simple code of maybe 100 lines which just writes some buffer to the soundcard using snd_pcm_writei(). Although the buffer is just there within the program itself (no external source, just internal in order to understand the code), I am running into underruns. I don't see the point - how ca I run into underruns, if data is always there? In addition I would like to set the fragment count of the driver - I think this term is derived from OSS. I would like to have at least three fragments of each 256 frames, but I do not know how to set this. The doxygen documentation is not a real good source I must admit... Could anyone please help me?

[Alsa-user] Bluetooth Headset

You can tell any ALSA program to use a specific device by using a device name like plughw:x,y if you know the card and device numbers. So this means the device identifier for the Fast Track with my particular hardware setup is: plughw:1,0 If you're using PulseAudio, you have to tell it to use that device. Can I bypass PulseAudio and stick to the commandline?
