Hi all, I'm struggling with getting the correct names for controls, so that they show up correctly in the Playback or Capture modes of alsamixer E.g. "PCM 3 Capture Meter" appears in the playback controls? How is capture vs playback display determined? or to put it another way: What are the rules for creating control names. Here is a reduced schematic of one of our cards (in reality more channels e.g. 4 physical stereo ins and outs, 12 players, 8 recorders) All players and inputs are mixed to outputs. All inputs and players multiplexed to each capture. How should all these controls be named?
