Hi list.
Since I'm not a programmer, trying to document the .asoundrc syntax is
somewhat cumbersome.
I'm writing an introductory howto for linux music making, in swedish,
and I can't really get a grasp
of the syntax in .asoundrc or any other alsa configuration file (like
those in /usr/share/alsa/) for that matter.
I wonder if anyone got easy-to-understand links for this, except the
ALSA-wiki and the Gentoo ALSA-howto?
These both round up an endless number of examples, but does leave out
(IMHO) important parts that is needed
for a thourough understanding if you're a moron like me. ;)
Normal users should never have to understand .asoundrc syntax or use
an .asoundrc at all. The best advice you can give is to forget there is
any such thing as an .asoundrc, and consider it an ALSA bug if their
soundcard does not do the right thing without one.
