Hello list,

This is basically a resend of
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/59481/focus=59672 , which
 fixed the front: device of ice1712 cards to accept two-channel input.
Currently, the front: device is exposed through the route plugin, which
requires all clients to mmap all 10 channels, even though the front
device is supposed to be a stereo device.

This patch changes the front: device definition such that it matches the
definition of iec958 in the same file. Additionally, I'm tempted to
remove the surround* definitions because the chip does not really offer
surround-style multichannel: it basically just offers multiple stereo
channels, and does not provide any channel mapping beyond stereo.

Finally, I'm also experimenting with the dshare plugin to allow
applications to access the iec958: and front: devices simultaneously.
Can anyone point me to a working example for this? From reading the
alsa-lib documentation, it is not clear to me how I should nest the
different plugins.


Many thanks,
Arno Schuring
