um, that doesn't work either.
mythtv@mythtv:~$ iecset -D=hw:0 -n 1 audio on
iecset: invalid option -- n
Usage: iecset [options] [cmd arg...]
Options:
-D device specifies the control device to use
-c card specifies the card number to use (equiv. with -Dhw:#)
-x dump the dump the AESx hex code for IEC958 PCM
parameters
-i read commands from stdin
Commands:
professional (common)
off = consumer mode, on = professional mode
audio (common)
on = audio mode, off = non-audio mode
rate (common)
sample rate in Hz
emphasis (common)
0 = none, 1 = 50/15us, 2 = CCITT
lock (prof.)
off = rate unlocked, on = rate locked
sbits (prof.)
sample bits 2 = 20bit, 4 = 24bit, 6 = undef
wordlength (prof.)
0=no, 2=22-18bit, 4=23-19bit, 5=24-20bit, 6=20-16bit
category (consumer)
0-0x7f
copyright (consumer)
off = non-copyright, on = copyright
original (consumer)
off = 1st-gen, on = original
I see that I have alsa-utils 1.0.15-3ubuntu2 (from ubuntu 8.04). Perhaps
my version is too old?
I will use my clunky old method for now, but I would like to clear up
this iecset issue.
Ben.
