[Alsa-user] MIDI subscription

2017-12-28 Thread Paul D. DeRocco
So we've had mention of a program subscribing to a port, and a client subscribing itself to a port, and a third client subscribing to two ports. What do these mean? And why are SUBS permission bits needed in some cases but not others? In short, what IS "subscription"? -- Ciao,

[Alsa-user] Slot assignment not working

2017-10-07 Thread Paul D. DeRocco
so tried adding the index parameter as an option to the individual drivers, but the hifiberry doesn't understand it. Did something change in 2.1.2? Or am I doing something wrong? Is "snd" no longer the name of the top level ALSA sound module? I don't see it listed in lsmod.
