Re: Reset to clean state after snd_ctl_add_integer_elem_set ?

Clement,

This is more or less what I have todo today. Nevertheless I do not understand how "alsactl init" which says in help "initialize driver to a default state" does not do the job.

I'm using snd_ctl_add_boolean_elem_set and snd_ctl_add_integer_elem_set

Even "/usr/sbin/alsactl --init" does not remove those added controls.
The only way I find is to prevent  /usr/sbin/alsactl to happen during
reboot to really reset the ALSA driver to an initial state, which is
really not pratical when developing/debugging.

Question: is there a simple method to return to a clean and fresh state
after snd_ctl_add_xxxx without rebooting the machine ?

There is no ownership information for user controls, so "alsactl store"
and "alsactl restore" always keep them.

To remove them, you can write a tool to call snd_ctl_elem_remove() on
all of them.  Alternatively, unload the driver module, and remove the
entries from the saved state file (probably /var/lib/alsa/asound.state).

Clemens
