.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
|
|
|
|
.B alsaconf
|
|
|
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
|
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
|
|
|
|
|
original program does not have a manual page.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
\fBAlsaconf\fP is a simple shell script which tries to detect the sound cards
|
|
|
|
|
on your system and writes a suitable configuration file for ALSA. It will try
|
|
|
|
|
to guess what GNU/Linux distribution you're running, and will act accordingly
|
|
|
|
|
to the standards of that distribution, if specific support is available.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
2004-08-31 18:27:25 +02:00
|
|
|
Alsaconf will write a module-init-tools (or modutils) snippet which can be then used by module-init-tools (or modutils)
|
2003-10-29 14:38:23 +01:00
|
|
|
to load the correct parameters for your sound card.
