Re: [Alsa-user] How do I alias a mixer using ALSA?

[Sebastian <seb...@gm...>]

Maybe I put the wrong words here. I don't really want to alias the whole 
mixer. I would like to alias a control for an output device :)

My mixer is called "USB mixer". You can see it on the picture here:
http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/sebastian.kemper/alsamixer_aureon_usb_mk2.png

Now theres the control for an output device called "Speaker,1". I would 
like to alias this control (not the whole mixer as I said before - my 
mistake). As you can see the name PCM is already there (weiredly enough 
it's a capture device). So may "Master" would be a good alias to use here.

Any idea how to alias the control?

Thanks!

Sebastian
