[Alsa-user] Re: new to 5.1 under linux

[RPBrown <mp...@gm...>]

ok so far, i've gathered the following files (GNU/Debian)
 
mediabawx:~# cat /etc/modutils/alsa
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd_cmipci

alias sound_service-0-0 snd_mixer_oss
alias sound_service-0-1 snd_seq_oss
alias sound_service-0-3 snd_pcm_oss
alias sound_service-0-8 snd_seq_oss
alias sound_service-0-12 snd_pcm_oss
 
mediabawx:/etc# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.dmixs51 {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1024
        slave {
                pcm "hw:0,1"
                rate 48000
                channels 6
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024
                buffer_time 0
                buffer_size 4096
        }
}

does this look correct? I havent check it yet, does Debian look at
/etc/asound.conf?
