[Hydrogen-devel] Tuning ALSA with .asoundrc

[Journeyman <jm...@ma...>]

Hello,

this is a question not strictly related to H2, but maybe you can give me
a hint, you know the ALSA audio system better than me.

I am patiently trying to configure my audio system to use JACK only. For
example mplayer, xmms2, hydrogen already all play through JACK.

The only thing that is missing is a default reroute to JACK, mainly to
hear audio from Flash video inside the browser (that tries to
access /dev/dsp), because - as you know - either you use JACK or OSS.

I know this can be done by configuring ALSA routes, editing
the .asoundrc file. Which is not an easy task being the syntax cryptic,
to say the least.

Before asking specific questions, is there some place I can gather
detailed syntax info on this file? The ALSA wiki is a little too tough
for me.

Thanks for any help you can give me...

Antonio
