Hello alsa-user. I have a card that supports 4 speakers. however I have only 2 speakers connected to it (to the "front" connector). now I want the following configuration: - when a 4-channel file is being played, route the rear channels to the front channels (mix them). - but when a mono file is played, copy the channel to both front speakers. each of the mentioned tasks can be easily configured by .asoundrc. so I can create 2 virtual devices, and play each file to the right device (e.g. dev_stereo_or_more and dev_mono). my question is: is there a way to define a single (default) device that will "detect" how many channels are opened and route accordingly, so that I don't need to tell the application explicitly which device to use? -- Best regard, Avner Shapiro ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
