Hello,

I searched through the list archive and I can't find a way to list all PCM devices. aplay/arecord -L show only these that have hint show on. Is there such command that lists all PCMs?

The hw: and plughw: devices do not show up by default, which is why Ubuntu has a distro patch that turns them on. I'm attaching that patch.

While on it, it is also hard to obtain a list of capabilities of a device. For example I don't see a way user can obtain the supported sample rates by a sound device. I have found a program (see it attached to http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/alsa-user/msg07230.html) that seems to work fine. Could that program or similar functionality be implemented in arecord/aplay so user can easily check device capabilities?

Thank you, Aleksandar
