The index number was too confusing such as
0: [ ] audio1 @ wss0
1: [*] audio0 @ yds0
in my PC for example. Here is new format:
[*] audio0 @ yds0
[ ] audio1 @ wss0
In this style, devices are always listed in order of unit number
and 0 always means audio0, 1 always means audio1.
- Extend list command to display supported hardware formats.
- Add set command to set hardware format.
- Use correct /dev/audioctl instead of /dev/audio.
audiocfg list
audiocfg default [index]
audiocfg test [index]
'list' shows the available audio devices, 'default' sets the default
audio device, and 'test' will play a tone for 2 seconds on each
channel. example:
$ ./audiocfg list
0: [*] audio0: ICH2 AC97 (2 playback channels)
1: [ ] audio1: Pseudo Audio (2 playback channels)
$ ./audiocfg test 0
testing channel 0...
testing channel 1...
$
that it's easy to change the "default" audio device. eg:
# audiocfg
0: [*] audio0: HD Audio
1: [ ] audio1: HD Audio
2: [ ] audio2: Pseudo Audio
# audiocfg 1
setting default audio device to audio1
# audiocfg
0: [ ] audio0: HD Audio
1: [*] audio1: HD Audio
2: [ ] audio2: Pseudo Audio

(there's a separate patch in the works to give "HD Audio" a better name.)
this is not enabled yet, but will be soon.
it also needs a manual page. any takers?
