GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 405024
alsasink's GstPropertyProbe for device-name doesn't seem to work correctly
Last modified: 2007-02-08 15:43:40 UTC
Here is what my system has : $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SI7012 [SiS SI7012], device 0: Intel ICH [SiS SI7012] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Modem [SiS SI7013 Modem], device 0: Intel ICH - Modem [SiS SI7013 Modem - Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 and here is what my test program sees : $ ./audio alsasink device=hw:0,0 name=dmix:0 alsasink device=hw:1,0 name=dmix:0 (I'll attach the source of my test program to this bug)
Created attachment 82025 [details] Test program to print the list of available devices I'll work on it if I find the time.
I think one bug will do as well :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 405020 ***
Well, I'd rather have kept both separate, since I'm probably not going to hack them both at the same time...
Created attachment 82038 [details] [review] Solution to the problem his makes my test program spit : $ ./audio alsasink device=hw:0,0 name=SiS SI7012 alsasink device=hw:1,0 name=SiS SI7012 which is the best alsa is able to make as a user-friendly string (sic).
