Hi,
I used alsaucm to test mixer use cases for an Intel Baytrail tablet, I wanted to use bare alsa before bringing pulseaudio in, and it took some time to get my head around it.

However, my point is that a man page explaining these things can make the life easier to new users.
It would be better if alsa/UCM developers wrote the man page, but if no one steps up I guess I could draft a first version myself.
Go ahead, please post your draft version. That's already helpful.
OK, I will.
The first version will be in a readable text format (maybe asciidoc), this makes writing and reviewing the content a lot easier.
Then, if depending on an external tool to generate the man page automatically is not acceptable for alsa-utils, I will format the approved content manually following the style used in the man pages of the other alsa programs.
Thanks, Antonio
