Assigning sound card to specific X display
|

| Ken McCord 2005-05-31, 8:47 pm |
| I'm running a dual-head setup using Debian unstable + the x.org packages
from Ubuntu. I have two sound cards, and I'd like to assign each of them
to a specific X display. How can I do this?
The first sound card is /dev/dsp and the second is /dev/dsp1. I want
display :0 to use /dev/dsp and display :1 to use /dev/dsp1.
Thanks,
Ken

This won't be as easy as you think. Since many programs attempt to
directly access the sound card, you may get programs running on the X
session intended for /dev/dsp1 defaulting their access to /dev/dsp. You
will need to ensure you have the proper wrapper program (depending on
which sound daemon you're using) will be executed for each program.
Perhaps someone else will think of a better solution. I wish you the
best of luck.
