[LAU] pcm_multi and JACKD2 1.9.7

Hello everyone! IO'm trying to set up my delta and E-MU cards as one, using the ALSA pcm_multi device type. But it does not work. Starting of one pcm_multi device with only one slave (the analog I/O of the E-MU 1212m, works fine. Trying the same with only the digital ins also works. Trying to put both hw:4,0 and hw:4,2 (analog and digital) in one pcm_multi capture device doesn't work. JACK tells me: [...] ALSA: no playback configurations available (Invalid argument) ALSA: cannot configure capture channel Cannot initialize driver [...] and finally fails with status of -1. I noticed - in testing -, that when I only give one capture device and no playback, JACK seems to assume, tat the control device is hw:0 (which in my case is just ALSA loopback. I have to supply hw:4 or hw:4,0 as output to see a different control device. Question: why does ALSA or ACK want to create a playback setting for the capture device? Is there perhaps a special key/attribute to use inside the the multi devices? I took my setup from here: http://www.jrigg.co.uk/linuxaudio/ice1712multi.html My kernel version is 3.9.0-rc6 and the ALSA is shipped with the kernel. JACKD is JACKDMP version 1.9.7. the MAudio Delta's S/PDIFF out is linked to the E-MU's S/PDIFF in and clock source in the mixer is set to S/PDIFF. The Delta's samplerate is 48kHz. Any ideas? Similar problems, that got fixed, perhaps? Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
