Hi everyone,
I am attempting to utilize my asound.conf to create a virtual
interface out of two delta 410 cards. There are several examples of
this online, but even after digesting them and plunging into the ALSA
doxygen docs, i am still unable to make jackd happy. My
understanding is that a route plug is inefficient but necessary for
jack to lock down the memory(unless the MMAP_COMPLEX patch is
applied). Using jack 0.99.0
jackd -v -d alsa -P ttable_play results in the error...
ALSA lib pcm_multi.c:970:(_snd_pcm_multi_open) Unknown field 10
ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for playback. Falling back to
capture-only mode.
The playback portion of my asound.conf follows. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. I actually thought I understood the
configuration process until it failed to work. ;)
thanks in advance,

#note that ice1217 chip actually has 10 outs(8 analogue on 410)
I don't know much about .asoundrc configuration, but should the "hw"
index start at 0?
