Subject: control: snd_ctl_open(): which names are acceptable?
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2020 16:41:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b0202d71-7af1-1461-51fb-962f918a5ca0@cccmz.de> (raw)

Hello Alsa developers,

I'm currently enhancing the libalsa API documentation. In the process, I
try to understand how each API function works and what the underlying
concepts are.

The snd_ctl_open() call takes a name, which is a C string (const char*).
For my sound card, the names "hw:CARD=PCH" and as well as "hw:2" (2 is
the card index) worked.

Which strings are acceptable as name? Are there maybe even more formats?
Is there some documentation on this?

Regards, Tanjeff
