Summary:                    alsamixer, rmedigicontrol and rme96 kernel driver
Description: 
As it's impossible to use the alsamixer with the rme96 driver here's a
small patch for it to make it work. (it's not from me, it's from undog
#alsa on irc.freenode.org)

This patch will break rmedigicontrol, so i made a small patch for
rmedigicontrol that'll fix this, too.

Adding is trivial, it's just editing 8 lines of source.


Regards,
Matthias

PS: Added patch for rme96.c

0.9.8 lib + 1.0.6a driver + old sblive = no ac3 passthrough

[guan yim]

Hi all,

When I use alsa-tools-0.9.8/ac3dec to play an ac3 file with passthrough 
option, it gives me the following messages:

Using PCM device 'plug:iec958:{AES0 0x2 AES1 0x82 AES2 0x0 AES3 0x2}'
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p failed: No 
such device
snd_pcm_open: No such device
Output open failed


I am using 0.9.8 lib + 1.0.6a driver + old sblive (chip: eMicro 28028) . 
However if I use everything in 0.9.8 it is ok. I check the file  
/dev/snd/pcmC0D3p  and it is indeed there. Why I couldn't mix different 
version of lib and driver? Please tell me the reason.

Thanks
guanyim

Because you are not supposed to do that.  Your ALSA lib and ALSA driver
version should match.

In this specific case it is because the device changed from hw:x,3 to
hw:x,2.  But if your ALSA lib version matched then this change would not
be visible.
