-- thanks Rui, for turning
me on to this great $20.00 synth!! Only remaining mystery is how to get
qjackctl to open both the analog (hw:6,0) and digital (hw:6,1) parts of the
Dynex dx-sc51 so I can have independent headpone monitors and SPDIF->main
monitor....
Solved!!
Taking a clue from a different thread with a soundcard that costs 100x more
and has 26 more channels... :-) . (

)
I now won't need to buy another soundcard for my intended portable music
computer as I can output to the "mains" over SPDIF, and monitor separately
in headphones, all with a $5.00 soundcard! I'll save my money for later and
get a decent quality external TOSlink->analog, which is all I'll need to
drive the "mains" without fear of computer noise or ground-loops, which is
IMHO the right way to get sound out of a computer driving a PA....
In qjackctl: Setup..->Settings: Interface: hw:ICE1724 ; Input: (default)
; Output:: multi"
giving ~/.jackdrc:
/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:ICE1724 -r48000 -p128 -n2 -D -Pmulti -Xseq -zs -H
-M
In Jackd, this gives me two working inputs, and four separate outputs -- a
stereo analog pair that I intend to use as headphone/cue monitor, and a
separate SPDIF/Toslink digital output.
The trick is the output "multi" is defined as ALSA "type multi" (see
http://nielsmayer.com/npm-dynex-asoundrc.txt ) as:
pcm.analog-hw {
type hw
card 6
}
ctl.analog-hw {
type hw
card 6
}
pcm.digital-hw {
type hw

device 1
}
ctl.digital-hw {

}
pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves.a.pcm "analog-hw"
slaves.a.channels 2
slaves.b.pcm "digital-hw"
