alsa_out

Hello everyone.

Simple question, is the «alsa_out» command/feature removed in Excalibur?

Cheers,
Olav

Re: alsa_out

Try using https://pkginfo.devuan.org though with the (too subtile?) "File:" search variant.

(There is a hint about that on its fromt page.)

Re: alsa_out

Thanks for answering.
I think I understood, hence the search wasn't exactly too sublime.

I'm trying too have browsers use JACK as sound-server, this, using alsa_out, was one approach I was exploring.

Re: alsa_out

I've used this in the past as /etc/asoundrc to get firefox to use jack. Haven't tried it lately.

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
    type jack
    playback_ports {
        0 system:playback_1
        1 system:playback_2
    }
    capture_ports {
        0 system:capture_1
        1 system:capture_2
    }
}

ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 0
}

Re: alsa_out

Thank you!
I will look into that.
I have 'fumbled around' «.asoundrc» quite a bit earlier, and I have absolutely not comprehended it all.

Thanks,
Olav

PS
Browser are but one thing, I need to reassure the functionality as a whole
