Great, I've got this working now.
However, how do I ask arecord to use a particular alternate setting? I'd
like to have two alternate settings with the same number of channels,
but different microphones enabled. Is that possible? I'm using the
following command line (my USB mic array is card 1):
$ arecord -Dplughw:1,0 test.wav -d 1 -c 4 -r 30
I have two alternate settings with 4 channels, and arecord seems to
always choose the last one (the one with the highest alternate setting
number. This could also be the alsa driver making this choice.
amixer can display and control the different interfaces using the
second, but I can't find a command line option for arecord.
Thanks,
Cameron.
