RE: [linux-audio-user] ALSA: What is the website missing?

Clemens, thanks for helping. It appears that this is exactly what you told me before, but I blew typing it in. http://www.music.columbia.edu/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2003-October/007395 .html Apparently this was completely my mistake. I thought I just did a copy/paste, but apparently not. I'll try it out later today with your fix and see if it works for me. Thanks! Maybe it's just me, but I think this example points out a confusing issue about the language. From your original example 'pcm.playback_22_23' appears to be the name, but then 'slave.pcm playback_22_23' is called. I thought I should be calling pcm.playback_22_23, but apparently not. Hopefully though, if we could get more examples like this on line, then people would come to better understand the capabilities of Alsa. We all agree they are there, but I think many feel we don't have enough examples to make use of it. Cheers, Mark
