[alsa-devel] ALSA : Can't open capture device

[Alexandre BOUIN]

arecord answer me this : 
arecord -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: codec [xxxxxxx audio codec], device 0: xxxxxx xxxxxx-I2S-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

After looking for traces in pcm.c and sound.c, I've found this : 
soc_new_pcm playback 1, capture 1
snd_pcm_dev_register str pcmC0D0p
snd_register_device_for_dev minor 16
snd_pcm_dev_register str pcmC0D0c
snd_register_device_for_dev minor 24
snd_register_device_for_dev minor 0

My pcmC0D0x minor devices were wrong :'( i've remade them and now it works.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Alex.

Does the capture device appear in /proc/asound/devices or in the output
of "arecord -l"?
