[Alsa-user] documentation??

[joy_ping <jo...@pi...>]

hi,

does anybody know where i can get some documentation about the .asoundrc
file and how it is involved in the alsa-driver-process?
i just added 

pcm.ens1371 {
                type hw
                card 0
                device 0
}

to .asoundrc cause i found in ecasounddocs that ecasound need it to
connect to the native alsa-driver. now ecasound works sucsessfully, but i
really dont understand the structure of this file, esspecially ctl.mixer
settings or slave-settings. does anyone know more about this file or now
where i can find docs about it?

thanks in advance

z.
