not really. the control device for a card is the way that programs modify various, suprise, "controls" on the card. for many cards, this includes the mixer, though in the example above, the rme9652 has no mixer. it does still have a number of controls, however, and JACK needs to be able to access them. Examples include the digital i/o sync indicators, sample clock source switch and so on. as for why the name itself is required: JACK was written to open both the PCM and control devices using a single name. I felt this was nicer and less confusing than asking the user to specify two different names. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
