NAME
audiocfg -- configure default audio device
SYNOPSIS
audiocfg list [index] audiocfg default index audiocfg set index direction encoding precision channels sample_rate audiocfg test index
DESCRIPTION
The audiocfg utility helps maintaining the audio and mixer device sym- links. Run with ``list'', it lists the available audio devices and shows the currently selected default audio device. Run with ``set'', it sets the hardware format. The direction is repre- sented by either of 'p' (playback) or 'r' (record), or both of them. This indicates the direction you want to set. The remaining parameters encoding, precision, channels, and sample_rate indicate the hardware for- mat you want to set. These parameters must be selected from the candi- dates displayed by audiocfg list. Called with ``test'', it plays a tone of 2 seconds for each channel of the device with the index index. Called with ``default'', it sets the default audio device to the one with the index index. audiocfg needs access to /dev/drvctl and write access to /dev (when used with ``default'') to work.
