Hello, and merry christmas everyone!
I'm trying to use my 2 surround speakers as a simple stereo output and I get
this error :
$ aplay -Drear plop.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:1969:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM rear definition
(id: rear, value: cards.pcm.rear)
aplay: main:544: audio open
which works, but blocks the whole device. Should I hope for better ?
Probably not, since the card doesn't do hardware mixing I suspect you
can either play a single stereo source or a single 6-channel source.
You could look into dmix, which should allow you to open the front and
rear PCMs at the
