Hello, I've read that ALSA can split a sound card with multiple physical channels into separate "sound cards" within the system. Is that possible? I've searched the internet for examples but could not find definitive help. I have a: $ grep -i delta /proc/asound/cards 1 [M1010 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 1010 M Audio Delta 1010 at 0xc8a0, irq 16 which has 8 physical input ports and 8 physical output ports. Also, is it possible to switch input ports to be output ports with ALSA commands? Thanks for any help or insight. -m
