- change SYSFS_DEVICE to CONFIG{sysfs_device}
- INCLUDE key now handles also directories
- RESULT key can assign value now
- EXIT="return" operation returns from included file immediately
Default 00main and hda configuration files changes:
- handle preinit and postinit directories

<refsect1><title>CONFIGURATION</title>
|
|
<para>All "alsactl init" configuration files are placed in
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/alsa/init/</filename> directory. The top level
|
|
configuration file is <filename>/usr/share/alsa/init/00main</filename>.
|
|
The default top-level file can be also specified using -i or
|
|
--initfile parameter for the alsactl tool.
|
|
Every file consists of a set of lines of text. All empty lines or
|
|
lines beginning with '#' will be ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<refsect2><title>Rules files</title>
|
|
<para>The "alsactl init" rules are read from the files located
|
|
in the <filename>/usr/share/alsa/init/*</filename>. The top
|
|
level configuration file is <filename>/usr/share/alsa/init/00main</filename>.
|
|
Every line in the rules file contains at least one key value pair.
|
|
There are two kind of keys, match and assignment keys. If all match
|
|
keys are matching against its value, the rule gets applied and the
|
|
assign keys get the specified value assigned.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A rule may consists of a list of one or more key value pairs
|
|
separated by a comma. Each key has a distinct operation, depending
|
|
on the used operator. Valid operators are:</para>
