Dear all,

Using a TerraTec EWS88MT (ice1712), I want to record simultaneously from
four different stereo sources. Although the break-out box is equipped with
8 analogue inputs, I do not know which devices correspond to the inputs.
Apparently, there are only two capture devices, and it seems to be
impossible to create additional capture devices because /dev/snd is a
symbolic link to /proc/asound.

# ls -l /dev/snd/
total 0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,   0 Dec  4 15:16 controlC0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,   8 Dec  4 15:16 midiC0D0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  24 Dec  4 15:16 pcmC0D0c
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  16 Dec  4 15:16 pcmC0D0p
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  25 Dec  4 15:16 pcmC0D1c
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  17 Dec  4 15:16 pcmC0D1p
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  18 Dec  4 15:16 pcmC0D2p
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,   1 Dec  4 15:16 seq
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     116,  33 Dec  4 15:16 timer

# arecord -l
card 0: 88MT [TerraTec EWS 88MT], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: 88MT [TerraTec EWS 88MT], device 1: ICE1712 consumer [ICE1712
consumer]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So far, I tried to define four PCM devices stereo0, stereo1, stereo2,
stereo3 in /etc/asound.conf (see below), and used commands like

arecord --device="stereo0" -t wav -c 2 -f cd -d 20 test0.wav &
arecord --device="stereo1" -t wav -c 2 -f cd -d 20 test1.wav &
arecord --device="stereo2" -t wav -c 2 -f cd -d 20 test2.wav &
arecord --device="stereo3" -t wav -c 2 -f cd -d 20 test3.wav &

However, the files were not recorded simultaneously but sequentially and
did not contain any audible content. I would be glad about any hints what I
did wrong.

Kind regards,
Ulrich Latzenhofer

This is my /etc/asound.conf:

pcm.ice1712 {
        type hw
        card 0
}

ctl.ice1712 {
        type hw
        card 0
}

pcm_slave.stereo {
        pcm ice1712
}

pcm.stereo0 {
        type plug
        slave stereo
        route_policy default
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.1 1
}

ctl.stereo0 {
        type hw
        card 0
}

pcm.stereo1 {
        type plug
        slave stereo
        route_policy default
        ttable.2.0 1
        ttable.3.1 1
}

ctl.stereo1 {
        type hw
        card 0
}

pcm.stereo2 {
        type plug
        slave stereo
        route_policy default
        ttable.4.0 1
        ttable.5.1 1
}

ctl.stereo2 {
        type hw
        card 0
}

pcm.stereo3 {
        type plug
        slave stereo
        route_policy default
        ttable.6.0 1
        ttable.7.1 1
}

ctl.stereo3 {
        type hw
        card 0
}
