[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/3] Define "sysdefault" PCM and control

[Takashi Iwai]

When "default" PCM and control definitions are overwritten by others
like PulseAudio setup, the original system-default defition is lost.
This is a problem when PA is temporarily (or intentionally) disabled
and user wants to use the default dmix.

This patch adds a new standard definition for the system-default,
"sysdefault".  This can be used for fallbacks.
