Gack, it sounds like not one of these apps supports
ALSA correctly. Are
you saying they all have free-form text entry fields to select the
device?
yeah, they just have freeform tex boxes (well, mplayer its as commandline option, whre you
have to substitute all sorts of special chars additionally) if 'default' is not
the users cup of tea. i've seen the selection menu in qjackctl, thats definitely a
nicer approach..
re the sampleformats: hw: used to work , but after some recent update to alsa-driver i
have to use plug:, no idea whats changed, i am using ATIIXP but am thinking about
springing for a PCMCIA Echo card since their PCI card has been rock solid and fuss free
(except for the extra 'thinking' you have to do to use its 'virtual pcms'
instead of just letting some CoreAudio or Everything-Plugs-Into-JACK magic take care of it
:)
