Public bug reported: Ubuntu Jaunty and/or Karmic:
aplay, among other sound playing & recording utilities, use snd_device_name_hint() to enumerate known devices. However, with the current (inherited from upstream) namehint policy, neither "pulse" or "default" are shown - very valid devices if you ask me. These can be shown if "defaults.namehint.showall" is changed to "on" in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, and possibly ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf as well. Furthermore, the "hw" and "plughw" devices won't be shown until "defaults.namehint.extended" is turned on as well. So my suggestion is that we turn both "defaults.namehint.extended" and "defaults.namehint.showall" on. I believe it would be better in the long run. ** Affects: alsa-lib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Alsa should show more device names in default setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425362 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
