Hi all! I was confused as to why on one of my boxes "aplay -L" says hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 and on another it says hdmi:CARD=NVidia I looked into it, and saw that namehint.c:add_card() loops through the pcm device numbers using snd_ctl_pcm_next_device(), and then proceeds in try_config() to append ',DEV=device_number' to the device name. However, in reality DEV does not match the device number, as e.g. DEV=0 may mean the '0' in HDA-Intel.pcm.hdmi.0, and the slave pcm of that is device 3, not device 0. If there is no device 0 on the NVidia card, the 'hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0' entry is never added (instead the one without ",DEV=0" is), even though these are not really related.. Now, I don't have a good understanding of all the code in namehint.c, but surely the occupied device numbers should not have any side-effects like this? -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
