Plug is a plugin to convert the format and sampling rate in order to connect the input to the output. So the conf you wrote is equivalent to plughw:0,0 not to hw:0,0. Anyway I recomend to use the conf you quoted or something like the following (which is more readable) as a default device in order to let applications play any kind of sound (44khz, 48khz, 8bit and so on) pcm.digital { type hw card 0 device 0 } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm digital } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
