I've come across an odd behavior: If I add a dummy pcm in .asoundrc : pcm.dummy { type plug slave.pcm "plughw:0,0" } I can see it listed with aplay -L. However, my own code, which uses the same exact mechanism as aplay does (snd_device_name_hint) does NOT list the dummy device. Ideas? /Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
