Hi all.
I have actually two questions ::
a)
How can one get the know the sound-device name used by a particular sound-driver?
For eg., there are multiple entries in "/dev/snd" "virtual" filesystem on my machine; however, I am not sure as to which device-file is used by which driver?
I guess, there would be a way to do this via gstreamer-api; however, I am not sure. Doing it via a shell-script would be awesome
b)
Secondly, (more importantly), how can one "programmatically" find out as to which sound-device is functional?
I will take an example here ::
When I try "gst-launch filesrc location=/path/to/mp3 ! mad ! pulsesink", I am able to play the mp3 fine on one machine, but not on another,
even though doing "pulseaudio --check" on both machines, gives "0" as the exit status.
So, in summary, I would like to know as to which all sound-device(s) is(are) functional, and then accordingly use the
corresponding sound-driver(s) in my application.
Will be grateful for a reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
