this won't work. the hw:N device requires the input format to match the

my understanding was that ALSA's default handling of routing an N
channel signal to M channels where N>M is that the N get mapped to all M
in a repeating fashion. maybe this has been changed, and you just get
the first N channels, with the rest silent.
martin, there is no way to use just ALSA device addressing to specify
specific channels. you would have to set up an ALSA pseudo-device with a
"route" specification to do this. its probably not what you want.
as was mentioned, just using JACK will be much easier.
I am sending another request because I think this
describes my problem
better, Thanks to everybody reading!
I want to use a RME Multiface soundcard with PCMCIA Cardbus Card on a Dell
Notebook with Ubuntu.
I installed all alsa drivers and other available tools for the RME card
successfully and if I do:
aplay -D plughw:1 track1.wav
Try -D hw:1
