Just a conceptual alsa question:
I've been reading about setting up multiple soundcards in
modules.conf/modprobe.conf, but most of the guides I've seen talk about
setting up two different cards -- what if you wanted to set up two
identical cards (like two delta 1010s, or two hdsp/multiface), will the
names of the cards (like snd-hdsp) be exactly the same, and will it thus
be difficult to set something like this up:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hdsp
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hdsp
alias snd-card-1 snd-hdsp
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hdsp
or will it number them somehow?
That will work fine. The snd-hdsp label is just the name of the module
that is loaded, and will of course be the same for each card. In
applications, you would refer to the two cards as hw0 and hw1.
