ALSA driver 1.0.18rc1 (Development branch)
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts. The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete access to analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins, PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.

A jack reporting API was added. Simultaneouscompilation of both PXA AC97 drivers is nowpossible. Drivers were added for TI TLV320AIC26,WM8900, WM8580, TriTech 28023, Asus V1Sn, ASUSEeepc P90*, 92HD81/83, AMD HDMI Audio, and severalmore. Code was cleaned up. Many fixes were made.Image

ALSACONF(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       ALSACONF(8)

NAME

       alsaconf - configuration tool for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

SYNOPSIS

       alsaconf [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the alsaconf command.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.

       Alsaconf is a simple shell script which tries to detect the sound cards on your system and writes a suitable configuration file	for  ALSA.
       It  will  try  to guess what GNU/Linux distribution you're running, and will act accordingly to the standards of that distribution, if spe-
       cific support is available.

       Alsaconf will write a module-init-tools (or modutils) snippet which can be then used by module-init-tools (or modutils) to load the correct
       parameters for your sound card.

OPTIONS

       Alsaconf accepts the following options:

       -c, --config file
	      Specify the module config file.  As default, alsaconf probes the available config file automatically.

       -d, --devmode mode
	      Set the device mode for the ALSA devices (default = 0666).  This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

       -g, --gid gid
	      Set the gid for the ALSA devices (default = 0).  This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

       -h, --help
	      Displays this help text.

       -L, --log file
	      Logging on the given file.  The log is appended to the file.  This option is for debugging purpose only.

       -l, --legacy
	      Check only for legacy non-isapnp cards.

       -m, --modinfo
	      Read module descriptions instead of reading a card database.

       -P, --listprobe
	      List the supported legacy card modules.

       -p, --probe card-name
	      Probe a legacy non-isapnp card and print module options.

       -r, --strict
	      Set strict device mode (equiv. with -g 17 -d 0660).  This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

       -s, --sound-wav-file
	      Use the specified wav file as a test sound.

       -u, --uid uid
	      Set the uid for the ALSA devices (default = 0).  This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

DEBIAN SPECIFIC

       In Debian, the default gid of the device files is 29 (corresponding to the audio group) and the default device mode is 0660.
