Well, checking "Enable client/port aliases" didn't give me any nicer midi names, but I was able to change the aliases. However these aliases seem to be a qjackctl thing only. ardour, patchage, etc. still show them as the original jack names. On the upside, I was able to rename inputs 5 to 8 so they are obviously not usable and rename my spdif ports as such. I have a delta66 and like any ice1712 based IF it shows 12/10 i/o if they are usable or not. What would be really nice would be to be able to tell jack not to show certain ports at all and to add aliases at the jack level. This is not just a ports number as the 6 ports are not contiguous. Perhaps this is really an alsa driver issue. I am not sure about the output ports... I have never done it, but the unused output channels can still be used as inputs to the multi-mixer. I wouldn't think this would be useful though as mixing input audio and output audio together might show latency differences between channels. Changing the alsa driver to show less than 12/10 might break mudita24 as well. Really, the ice1712 pci cards seem to be one of the best audio solutions around for stability. I would like to see an expanded version that works for pcie (more ports, maybe the ability to gang them at the same port). It seems that audio interface manufactures wait for the chip to come out before making the IF. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
