Hello All
If/when I get my Delta 44, how are all the inputs and outputs mapped
into/out of the system? /dev/dsp0 - /dev/dsp7? How exactly does this work?
Does the driver for these cards provide any routing capabilities between
the inputs and outputs?
Any info appreciated.
Thanks - JB

/dev/dsp is the "old" OSS device naming convention.
i haven't used the OSS emulation on my delta66 much. but i don't
think it works like that.

the envy24control program that comes with alsa allows you to
select which physical output gets what signal.
it can be any of the driver's pcm output buffers, or
a direct pass-through from any of the card's inputs, or it
can be a mixed signal created by the card's monitor mixer.

Thanks for the info about envy24control!

Yes - capture ports 1-4 map to HW inputs 1-4, and playback ports 1-4 map
to HW outputs 1-4.

I have the Delta 1010 and haven't figured out how to record off of
any other inputs than 1 & 2.

Inputs 1 & 2 correspond to a stereo L/R pair. Yes, I can use both at
the same time. I haven't been able to get Audacity to use any of the other
inputs, but I haven't tried very hard. Once I realized that it defaulted
to the first pair, I hung my MiniDisk player off of inputs 1&2 and haven't
tried anything else.
(I record a lot of live performance on MD and dump it to computer with
Audacity, then import those files into Ardour if I want to overdub.
It's the only thing I use Audacity for, recording-wise.)

I only have the one Delta 1010 card so I can't say, but I have heard
that it's possible to use multiple soundcards in a system.

Joe,
Are you talking about recording off of the other inputs with Audacity?
I have no problem with Ardour. I'm using the St-Audio DSP2000 but it's
the same chipset.

I've used all 8 analog I/O's with Ardour - works like a champ :)
I just hadnt dug out hopw to use different inputs with Audacity, if it's
even possible. It was just easier to move a couple of patch cables and
always use 1&2 as the input to Audacity.

You'll need a current CVS version of Audacity for this, or the forthcoming
beta version. Multi-channel support (ie more than 2) was only added recently,
and testing of the feature is needed. Contact the audacity-devel mailing list
list if you'd like to give it a go.
Cheers

ALSA question
I'm using Slackware. I've been spending my time playing (as soon as I get
home from work), there's some recording I'd like to finish by Friday, so
I've stuck with 1.0 instead of fiddling with the beta version.
I have a very broken cvs of Ardour, I'm going to refresh it tonight. I've
been trying to scale its learning curve. I've been using Audacity for a
while, if the 1.1.x versions will support full-duplex I'll give it a
whirl. I was thinking of taking tomorrow off anyways (I'm like sick or
something ...)
Thanks for the pointer - JB

I think that you have to install driers for Envy 24 chip and you can do
various things
ALl the best,
