Hi,
I have Debian Etch on an ASUS P5B system with an onboard sound-card (hda-intel)
and a Terratec Phase 22 card in a PCI slot (ice1724).
I have added the following lines to /etc/modprobe.d/sound :
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1724
options snd-ice1724 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=1
..consequently the Phase 22 (ice1724) is the default card.
My problem is that 'default' is the only card I can use with ALSA. A command
like 'aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav' results in an error. I cannot direct sound from
any program to a card of my choice. When I set up MPD to use hw:0,0 or hw:1,0
the program does not play any music at all.
Here is the output of some commands:
# asoundconf list
Names of available sound cards:
(no cards are listed)
# aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav
Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:904: Sample format non available
('aplay test.wav' works fine)
# aplay -l

I tried using aliases in .asoundrc
pcm.TP22 {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
pcm.Intel {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
..but using, for instance 'aplay -D TP22 test.wav' gives the same error as
shown above.
There must be something wrong with my setup - and the result is that I cannot
use the non-default card without changing a configuration file and restarting
ALSA. I hope one of you can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
