Well, I took out
#
snd_ctl_elem_value_set_name(val, SPDIF_PLAYBACK_ROUTE_NAME);
#
for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
#
snd_ctl_elem_value_set_numid(val, 0);
#
snd_ctl_elem_value_set_index(val, i);
#
if (snd_ctl_elem_read(ctl, val) < 0)
#
continue;
#
stream_active[i + 8] = 1;
which at least did away with the useless S/PDIF patchbay entries. Now
the patchbay/router is empty.
Therefore, I think we are on the right track. The issue would now
probably be to add appropriate changes to the preceding section which reads
void patchbay_init(void)
{
int i;
snd_ctl_elem_value_t *val;
snd_ctl_elem_value_alloca(&val);
snd_ctl_elem_value_set_interface(val, SND_CTL_ELEM_IFACE_MIXER);
snd_ctl_elem_value_set_name(val, ANALOG_PLAYBACK_ROUTE_NAME);
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
snd_ctl_elem_value_set_numid(val, 0);
snd_ctl_elem_value_set_index(val, i);
if (snd_ctl_elem_read(ctl, val) < 0)
continue;
stream_active[i] = 1;
}
