In a bug report on launchpad for the linux version of WSJT-X, version 1.1
(does not use QT-Audio), AC6SL offer the following advice to correct a sound
card issue.

AC6SL offered this advice...

I was able to make this device work by creating ~/.asoundrc with
this entry in it, and then telling wsjtx to use device "p148k":

  pcm.p148k {
      type plug
      slave {
           pcm "hw:1,0"
           format S16_LE
           channels 1
           rate 48000
       }
  }


My question is.. what is pcm.p148k?

Is it a unique hardware device? Would I have to determine that "number" for
my setup? Or, is it just general generic software coding statement and I can
use the .asoundrc "as is", other than the pcm "hw:1,0". I do understand that
"hw:1,0" is required to be specific for my setup/hardware/device?

If I do have to find the correct "pcm.p148k" type number... how do I do
that? Use dmesg, or something similar?

One last question(s)... I know I can just copy and paste the above .asoundrc
file to my home folder, but if I was to type it out in a Text Editor, how
important is it to get the curly brackets in the right postions? I am fairly
sure I can type the .asoundrc file to look exactly as shown above, but if I
was off a space, or two, would the .asoundrc file fail to run?

Thanks.

73, John, N1ISA
