Re: [alsa-devel] Getting a full device list

You can override the values easily in user configuration, e.g. by adding the following line to ~/.asoundrc:

defaults.namehist.showall on

To force to override even the variable type, you can add '!' modifier,

defaults.namehist.!showall 1

So global variables found in alsa.conf can be overridden in ~/.asoundrc.. I didn't realise this either..

Thanks for the advice.
