That makes sense. The last missing piece of the puzzle, is how to find
the value for the device parameter.
Apparently this can be found using:
$ pacmd list-sinks | grep name:
So now my my ~/.asoundrc looks like this:
----- snip - snip -------------------------------------------------
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.pulseheadset {
type pulse
device "alsa_output.usb-Plantronics_Plantronics_Headset_00050-0504044410003-V060000D-00.analog-stereo"
}
ctl.pulseheadset {
type pulse
device "alsa_output.usb-Plantronics_Plantronics_Headset_00050-0504044410003-V060000D-00.analog-stereo"
}
----- snip - snip -------------------------------------------------
Now the commands:
aplay -D pulseheadset /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay -D pulse /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
works as expected.
