Hi,
I'm running alsa 0.9.0_cvs20011127 provided by Takashi Iwai for SuSE
distro. I noticed that the file /etc/asound.conf is no longer used, the
configuration is stored on ~/.asoundrc and there is a /etc/asound.state
file generated by alsa.
The asoundrc.txt file that comes in the documentation is very cryptic to
me, and I need to properly configure my soundcard (midiman DiO 2448), which
has stereo analog outputs (card 0, device 0) and spdif in/outs (card 0,
device 2).
Due to the lack of analog inputs on the sound card, I'm forced to use the
spdif for recording, and with arecord -D hw:0,2 all works perfectly.
The problem is that not all sound apps are smart as arecord and they
don't know that I want to record trough spdif instead of recording the
normal analog inputs (don't have them).
So for now I can't record in bcast2000, in ardour, in snd, etc.. only
arecord allow me to specify on the command line the interface I like to
use for recording and the one that I like to use for playback.
Basically, my dream is to record on hw:0,2 while playing on hw:0,0 and
have OSS emulation for hw:0,2 and hw:0,0 as /dev/dsp.
Could you please give me a little hint on configuring alsa in this
way ?
Thank you in advance.
