Package: zita-alsa-pcmi-utils
Version: 0.2.0-1
Severity: minor
the two programs that come with zita-alsa-pcmi-utils
(alsa_loopback and alsa_delay) currently have a total lack of
documentation on how to use these programs.
- /usr/share/doc/zita-alsa-pcmi/utils only holds the minimal required files
- there are no manpages
- there are no help-flags
- running the commands without any arguments gives:
CMDNAME <playdev><captdev><fsamp><frsize><nfrags>
"CMDNAME" is replaced by the actual commandname, though
- for `alsa_loopback` it reads `alsa-loopback`
- for `alsa_delay` this actually reads 'alsa-latency' [sic!]
this "help" indicates that all options should be given in a single string,
though the source code reveals, that they actually need to be given as
separate arguments.
i suggest the following:
- fixing the online-help, so it reads
"$0 <playdev> <captdev> <fsamp> <frsize> <nfrags>"
- adding minimal manpages that explain these parameters and give a working
example (and hopefully a short summary what these programs really do)
