Windows doesn't have ALSA. they have a two-bit device driver system that isn't capable of half the subtlety of ALSA. as a result, they don't have issues like "there is a PCM device corresponding to the first 4 channels of a 26 channel card that I'd like you to use". just look at what aplay -L and figure out how to get the PCM device names from the config info it reads, then present them to the user. nobody writing ALSA apps has dealt with this to date because we assume a certain level of skill in our users. if you want to make different assumptions, you'll need to work on new solutions. ALSA is a collaborative effort - not every part of the system is in place right now. >> there will be other programmers who will write good, simple >> configuration tools to create and edit ~/.asoundrc. > >Don't be ridiculous!

Do you ever know >what is it 'GUI' application? i have no idea. i didn't say anything about what it was. i merely know that what you want is an obvious need, and to judge from linux to date, people will write such things. i would, but i'm too busy working on many other aspects of linux audio. --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
