After a recent update ALSA stopped working. Apparently, ALSA now
defaults to a device that doesn't work (fails to open, or just hangs).
On Gentoo, with OpenRC, how do you configure the default board/device
for ALSA?
I've asked Google, and all the links it comes up with are for sites
that are broken because of PHP or database failures (e.g. wiki.gentoo.org
and forums.gentoo.org).
The usual fallback is wiki.archlinux.org, but its instructions to
place the following in /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc doesn't work:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1
Likewise the wiki.archlinux.org advice to set ALSA_CARD to the card
name shown by aplay -l also doesn't work.
How do you set the devault card/device for ALSA on Gentoo?
