Yah, sorry. > User-Agent: Mutt/1.10.1 (2018-07-13) Textual MUAs aren't outside possibility. > AUDIODEV=dmix:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 play MY/m85.WAV Good. Meanwhile, peter@joule:/home/peter$ aplay -L | grep dmix:CARD=L dmix:CARD=Live,DEV=0 dmix:CARD=Live,DEV=1 dmix:CARD=Live,DEV=2 Try the second DEV, AUDIODEV=dmix:CARD=Set,DEV=1 play MY/m85.WAV ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1108:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave play FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured And the third, AUDIODEV=dmix:CARD=Set,DEV=2 play MY/m85.WAV ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1108:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave play FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured No option to list _configured_ devices? Maybe refer to /proc/asound/Device/. > The way I see it, there's no need for these "predictable audio devices > names", they are here already.
