Re: [linux-audio-user] Quattro: part two of mail :-/

Well, in that respect, can you clear up something for me about your .asoundrc file? I am not that familiar with ALSA's internals, so perhaps this is a silly question, but here goes.. The .asoundrc comments say that quattro1 is pcm0, but what exactly is pcm0? Is that outputs 1 and 2 viewed as a stereo card? I also don't really understand what all the other things are for, like quattro, q4, and q4b or how I could do practical things like record or play on one specific in/ouptut. Would you consider rewriting your comments in the file so they are more understandable to those not familiar with the intricacies of asoundrc and low level alsa stuff? It would be very helpful. Some practical hints along these lines would be great: "quattro1 is the physical input 1 and 2 and output 1 and 2 working as one stereo device. It has a maximum samplerate of foo." "To record or play a mono channel on a specific input/output using (for example) arecord, do 'bar'" ..and something similar to explain the differences between the q4, q4b and quattro entries. It would be great if you would want to do this, because it would save people the time of having to grok the whole .asoundrc syntax themselves. Thank you for writing the thing in the first place by the way!! :-) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
