Subject: Only one element for multichannel mixer controls please!
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2008 01:49:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081024234932.GA17812@tango.0pointer.de> (raw)
Heya!
It seems that quite a few ALSA drivers for multichannel sound cards
export three seperate stereo mixer controls to control front, rear and
center/lfe independantly. That sucks because a client (such as
PulseAudio) cannot make use of this. Instead they should export a
single 6ch mixer control!
The "amixer scontents" output looks very strange for these drivers
since it lists a "Rear" control that as a "Front Left" and a "Front
Right" channel. So, what is it now: front or rear?
Is there any reason for this current driver behaviour? I mean, the
mixer knows channel ids like SND_MIXER_SCHN_REAR_LEFT perfectly
well. Or is it that those devices have some devices joined and this
cannot be expressd with a single boolean "joined" for each
control?
Please enlighten me!
Lennart
