Post subject:	Trying to understand sound devices
Would someone please enlighten me what the difference between adsp and dsp is? Is there any difference between /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp0? (shouldn't the first device be 0?) How do I know what card is what as far as /dev/dsp, /dev/dsp0, /dev/dsp1, etc. Would certain devices use two or three /dev/dsp/ "slots"? I'd like to find out exactly which sound chip I am using for in and out.

/dev/dsp is most likely a link to /dev/dsp0 Similar links probably exist for many devices Code: ls -l /dev/[^0-9] \| egrep "^l.0$" lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 27 18:06 /dev/adsp -> /dev/adsp0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 27 18:06 /dev/amidi -> /dev/amidi0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 27 18:06 /dev/audio -> /dev/audio0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 27 18:06 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 27 17:42 /dev/cloop -> cloop0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 27 18:06 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 27 17:42 /dev/dtv -> /dev/dtv0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 27 18:06 /dev/dvd -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 27 17:42 /dev/isdnctrl -> isdnctrl0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 27 17:42 /dev/mcdx -> mcdx0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 27 18:06 /dev/midi -> /dev/midi00 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 27 18:06 /dev/mixer -> /dev/mixer0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 27 17:42 /dev/radio -> radio0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 27 17:42 /dev/sbpcd -> sbpcd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 27 17:42 /dev/stdin -> fd/0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 27 17:42 /dev/vbi -> vbi0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 27 17:42 /dev/vcs -> vcs0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 27 17:42 /dev/vcsa -> vcsa0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 27 17:42 /dev/video -> video0
