[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#550117: libasound2: Unable to detect user-defined devices

[John Lindgren]

Tomasz,

I was looking at the ALSA source code lately, and I think this may not
be a bug in ALSA after all but simply you and I not knowing how to use
it right.  Apparently, entries in .asoundrc are hidden by default (I
know, it's not the way I would have designed it, either) and need a few
extra lines to show up in the list.

So instead of this:

        pcm.s2 {
        	type route
        [...]
        	ttable.1.5 1
        }

Try this:

        pcm.s2 { 
        	type route
        [...]
        	ttable.1.5 1
        	hint {
        		show on
        		description "Replace this with something meaningful"
        	}
        }

Peace,
John Lindgren
