Ah, thanks. Yes, having tried it now it does indeed seem to be what I need. How about non-sound devices, for instance if there is a chip solely for managing the microphone power but it's not actually part of the codec. Is it reasonable to bring it in as an aux device too, even though there's actually no sound going through it? /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf Wanderlöf ricardw(at)axis.com Axis Communications AB, Lund, Sweden www.axis.com Phone +46 46 272 2016 Fax +46 46 13 61 30 _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
