I'm certainly no expert, but to do this you may need to find the config file in /usr/share/alsa/ that implements dmix (perhaps pcm/dmix.conf) or anything that refers to defaults.pcm.card (or defaults.pcm.dmix.card) and change that to pcm.spdif or whichever device you want to become the default. >> You can also set this if you want something other than 48kHz: >> >> defaults.pcm.dmix.rate 48000 >> > I'm trying to make sense of the files in /usr/share/alsa and extrapolate > the language so I can understand the flow and write an entire > asound.conf script, but I was thinking there's a simpler way to do this, > since the "spdif" pcm is already pointing to the right device. Changing all references from the default PCM device to the SPDIF device should work, but again, I'm not an expert at this :-) Cheers, Adam. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
