It was updated and changed quite a bit in September 2001 by Andy -Wingo for use with ALSA 0.9.x. It was rewritten in great part again by Benjamin -Otte in January/February 2003. - -1.0 Introduction ----------------- - -This plugin was designed for use with ALSA 0.9.x, using other versions most -assuredly will not work. - -The plugin will probe which cards and pcm-devices that are availible, and then -it tries to determine their capabilities. This will allow the use of multiple -cards with multiple pcm-devices - at the same time! Since I only have one card -on my system, as of yet, I haven't had the chance to try this out. - -2.0 How to use it ------------------ - -Since we can have multiple soundcards, each having the same name - and also -multiple pcm-devices on each card, a problem with naming occurs. When -the alsa-plugins are initialized, a factory is created for each card and -pcm-device on the system. - -On my desktop, I have the following: - -wingo@cebreiro:~/src/gstreamer$ gstreamer-inspect alsa -INFO ( 339:-1) Initializing GStreamer Core Library -INFO ( 339:-1) CPU features: (808009bf) MMX 3DNOW -Plugin Details: - Name: alsa - Long Name: Alsa plugin library - Filename: /usr/lib/gst/libalsa.so - - ES1370/1_sink: ES1370 DAC2/ADC - ES1370/2_sink: ES1370 DAC1 - ES1370/1_src: ES1370 DAC2/ADC - alsasink: default alsa sink - alsasrc: default alsa src - -My particular card has 4 channel out and 2 channel in. As you can see, each of -these devices are stereo. The alsasink and alsasrc elements correspond to the -default alsa devices. - -3.0 Where to look for other ALSA drivers ----------------------------------------- - -ALSA 0.9 isn't very well documented, so we had to rely on a number of different -sources for guidance. Sources of inspiration include JACK's alsa driver -(available in jack's cvs tree, http://jack.sourceforge.net/), the alsa2 driver -of mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu) and the pcm.c example from the ALSA library -itself. -(http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/_2test_2pcm_8c-example.html) - -4.0 License ------------ - -This plugin is licensed under the Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
