Re: [alsa-devel] snddevices issue

I find that the device nodes created in the /dev/snd for Control, Timer and pcmC0D0 have different minor numbers from the class devices created by the ALSA core.

The help text for the --enable-dynamic-minors option (when using the alsa-driver package) or the CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS option (when using the in-kernel ALSA) says that this can be used only when the machine is running udev. (If you are actually running udev, you don't need the snddevices script).

I just did kernel prints to capture the minor numbers

These numbers are also available in /proc/asound/devices.
