I have a laptop with an integrated snd-card (which doesn't this days), but I also have two external USB-sound-cards.. They are almost never connected at the same time, yet if one is connected it's a better choice then the internal sound card. I would like to automatically assign output to the usb card if available for some apps (not for all). In mplayer it's simple. In it's config file: ao=alsa:device=hw=default,alsa:device=hw=Xmod,alsa:device=default The first default is not an error - the manufacturer of one of my cards has called it "default"... But in audacious it's not so simple, I can't simply list the cards in a list..besides I need to assign the mixer as well. Is it possible to make an pcm/ctl device in asoundrc file that would redirect the output to the correct card/mixer depending on they existence? The algorithm should look more or less like: If "default" exist: pcm.redir -> plughw:default clt.redir -> default.Speaker Elsif Xmod exists: pcm.redir -> plughw:Xmod ctl.redir -> Xmod.PCM Else pcm.redir -> default (underneath dmixed&dsnooped internal sound card) ctl.redir -> card 0 fi Any idea how to write that in the asound file?
