Change the rate converter type to allow string arrays in addition to
a string. When a string array is given, the rate plugin probes each
string and try to load the converter plugin in the order of the list.
For example, you can set
defaults.pcm.rate_converter [ "samplerate" "linear" ]
so that samplerate plugin is preferred to linear plugin if it's
installed.
Created a new rate converter plugin SDK.
A rate converter can be replaced as an extra plugin now.
The default rate converter is a built-in linear converter.
You can find a sample external converter in alsa-plugins package.
- now multichannel works (before only 1 channel worked). i tested stereo,
and it works fine.
- i extended the configuration. the jack ports to connect to are now not
hard-coded anymore. instead, they will have to be specified in the
asound.conf, which allows to connect to any other jack client.
my asound.conf now looks like this:
pcm.jackplug {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}
