Sorry,
Yes, it is. It's not a gstreamer thing though - it's a front end to
asoundconf(1) which appears to have been recently developed for Ubuntu.
It looks like a nice design, here's the man page.
asoundconf(1)
asoundconf(1)
NAME
asoundconf - utility to read and change the user's ALSA library
configuration
SYNOPSIS
asoundconf is-active
asoundconf get|delete PARAMETER
asoundconf set PARAMETER VALUE
asoundconf list
DESCRIPTION
asoundconf configures the ALSA library for the user. It does
this by reading the values of parameters from and writing the values of
parameters to the special file .asoundrc.asoundconf in the user's
home directory. The .asoundrc.asoundconf file should not be edited
by hand!
The .asoundrc.asoundconf file only has an effect on the ALSA
library if it is included by the user's .asoundrc file, also located in
the user's home directory. When asoundconf is run and it finds
either that the ~/.asoundrc file does not exist or that the file exists
and contains the markers of the obsolete
set-default-soundcard program then asoundconf adds the required
inclusion statement to
~/.asoundrc; otherwise asoundconf does not change ~/.asoundrc.
Hence, if you want to disable control of ALSA library configuration
parameters by asoundconf then simply comment out this
inclusion statement but do not delete the ~/.asoundrc file. (It is OK
for
~/.asoundrc to be an empty file.)
WARNING
This program is under development. Its features will change
without notice and without preservation of backward compatibility,
except
insofar as they are put to use by other components of the
Debian and/or Ubuntu operating systems. (As of this writing the Ubuntu
developers have plans to use asoundconf for setting the value of
defaults.pcm.card from the system sound preferences menu.)
FILES
~/.asoundrc
user-specific ALSA library configuration file
~/.asoundrc.asoundconf
file containing asoundconf-managed parameter settings
AUTHOR
This program was written by Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@xxxxxxxxxx>
for Ubuntu.
