Re: ALSA - Channel swap

[Tomas Matejka <tomas.matejka@tcz.cz>]

My kernel version is 3.2.18.
I can't uderstand this, does this mean that using Atmel, Linux and audio 
codec always result to channel swapping?
It would be very strange. How could codec manufacturer sell codec, which 
swaps channels ?
I need this for application that requires that audio channels can't be 
randomly swapped.
