Subject: What are subdevices?
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2014 13:44:13 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <544CAD55.8070605@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi!

I tried this question in the alsa-users mailing list but it doesn't 
appear to be much active. So I ask here.

I'm facing problems with my system, so decided to learn ALSA to see 
what's the problem.

My first question -- what's a device and a sub device?

A device seems like the output streams the sound card supports. Like 
HDMI, DP, analog etc...

So what's a subdevice? Is this related to multichannel? Does it 
designate physical ports on the card?

Thanks.
