Hi, because no one objected against new snd_device_name_hint() function prototype (see bellow for hg URL), I commited my implementation to the hg repository. http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-lib?cs=b4ac1aee3f07 Additions from last update: 1) add hint {} section to the device definition hint.description "Description" hint.device integer hint.device_input integer hint.device_output integer 2) hint 0 - disable listing of this device definition 3) show device name like: front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0|ALC880 Analog: Front speakers and multichannel output 4) notify available direction (if possible) in comment like spdif:CARD=Intel,DEV=0|ALC880 Digital {Playback}: IEC958 (S/PDIF) Output 5) gather strings from namehint.IFACE {} section (see function documentation for example) Please, because I and Takashi have different meaning about the default behavior, if definitions of devices should be visible by default or not, let us know (to this mailing list) your meaning. I'll gather your votes and change behaviour of alsa-lib (if required). Proposals: a) my implementation - device definitions in ~/.asoundrc are listed by default and user can disable listing using 'hint 0' in the device definition b) Takashi's proposal - if the hint {} section is missing, the device will not be listed Testing (PCM devices): The aplay and arecord -L command uses new function (hg version). Testing (all interfaces): alsa-lib/test/namehint utility can be used: alsa-lib/test/namehint rawmidi (actually, it seems that other interfaces than PCM does not work - fixing right now) Jaroslav ----- Jaroslav Kysela <perex@xxxxxxx> Linux Kernel Sound Maintainer ALSA Project, SUSE Labs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
