Hi Takashi, The Intel SandyBridge/CougarPoint HDMI codec is very similar to the IbexPeak HDMI codec, except that it exports one more Audio Converter. Now we have 3 Audio Converters, each of them present one HDMI PCM device: (and expect a 4th HDMI PCM device in future) $ aplay -l | grep HDMI card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: INTEL HDMI 0 [INTEL HDMI 0] card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: INTEL HDMI 1 [INTEL HDMI 1] card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 8: INTEL HDMI 2 [INTEL HDMI 2] So enable devices minors to support more than 8 PCM playback devices. Thanks, Fengguang _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
