[LAU] el cheapo for Sweex sc011 (CMI8738) : works!

Hi all, as requested, my configuration of the el-cheapo hack I bought 2 sweex 4.1 sound cards (netherlands, 10 euro each) which are CMI8738 chips, sweex model SC011 they contain 1 chrystal with 2 feet. can't miss it. I soldered a microphone wire into the two empty holes on the crystal-stripped card, and soldered the middle wire onto the crystal equipped card. this is different from the tutorial, but works. after that, I tested with baudline, and both cards (still) worked. I'm developing a robot sonar direction finder, and with sonar, more channels are better. Thanks for the el-cheapo hack ! (now back to the mess that is called Alsa/Jack. how the <bleep> can I query/see/confirm that those self made aliases set up in the ~/.asoundrc are actually processed and available ? Jack does not seem to see them, it sees 2 capture devices where I am endowed with no less than 4 soundcards, which *are* known to the system) raalst@rt:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CMI8738 ]: CMI8738 - C-Media CMI8738 C-Media CMI8738 (model 37) at 0xa000, irq 18 1 [CMI8738_1 ]: CMI8738 - C-Media CMI8738 C-Media CMI8738 (model 37) at 0xa400, irq 21 2 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5 << on board Intel ICH5 with ALC655 at irq 22 3 [SAA7134 ]: SAA7134 - SAA7134 << tv tuner saa7134[0] at 0xfb005000 irq 20
