Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gr-audio: add query device names?

[Volker Schroer]

There may a problem with alsa and linux.
You can find all available cards in the file /proc/asound/cards.

But in some cases you can't use a card directly.
For instance the Delta M44 offers 10 channels, but in many use cases you 
only work with 2 channels. So you have to use plugins.

Of course, you could list the available hardware.
