Re: [Alsa-user] Microphone works in Pulseaudio, not ALSA

[Gordon H. <gho...@mu...>]

Alright, I can record with:

arecord -D plughw:0,2 /tmp/garbage.wav

and play with:

aplay -D plughw:0,0 /tmp/garbage.wav

So it is a configuration problem. My question now is, how do I configure 
~/.asoundrc to have dmix and dsnoop devices that winecfg can detect ?
