Re: [alsa-devel] how to create alsa nodes?

In destop x86 system, the udev will automatically create the nodes in snd directory, such as pcmC0D0c, pcmC0D1c, etc. I try to let the usb sound device work on mips platform, but I have no idea what is the proper way to create these nodes. Should I

1. create them one by one by hand from copying the attributes in my PC (if I have 2 or more usb sound devices, I have to first plug them

in pc and monitor the nodes)

This will not work if the device nodes' minor numbers are allocated dynamically.

2. smarter way to do so?

GregKH would tell you that the smart way would be to run udev. ;-)

To use static device nodes, 1) make sure that CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS is disabled, 2) use the snddevices script in the alsa-driver package.
