I think I am running Alsa and not OSS which must be happening by emulation. /dev/snd/by-id/ contains only usb-Logitech_Logitech_Wireless_Headset-00 usb-Microsoft_Microsoft?_LifeCam_Cinema_TM_-02 even when BT headset connected. I don't seem to have a convenient udev utility, just the daemon which I am not sure how to manipulate. There does not seem to be a restartable service. The application is the speech recognizer Julius. Some of the docs talk about specifying AUDIODEV but I have now found other instructions relating to ALSADEV and even pulseaudio. I have attempted to configure Julius for PA but my configure is sticking on an issue related to -------- checking for pa_simple_new in -lpulse-simple... (cached) no configure: error: no PulseAudio header! -------- I'm sure I have alsa-devel and libpulse-devel installed, so I am chasing this issue now with Julius forum. Thanks.
