no, unfortunately one host can't have the list of usable audio devices (remember some are exposed on the network by other hosts). > Specifically I was trying to attach a scope(probably one of the ffplay > visualizations) to the main output. however I could not figure out what > endpoints exist. You could create a monitoring sub-device, and make the scope program record from it (monitoring devices record what other programs play). Example, start sndiod as follows: sndiod_flags="-s default -m play,mon -s foo" then configure your scope program to use "snd/0.foo" as audio device. Another option is to configure the scope to use "default" and to export AUDIODEVICE=snd/0.foo For more info, see description of the -m and -s options in sndiod(1), and the device naming scheme in sndio(7).
