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.
