ALSACONF(8)		     System Manager's Manual		     ALSACONF(8)

NAME
     alsaconf - configuration tool for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

SYNOPSIS
     alsaconf [options]

DESCRIPTION
     This  manual page documents briefly the alsaconf command.	This manual page
     was written for the Debian distribution because the original  program  does
     not have a manual page.

     Alsaconf  is a simple shell script which tries to detect the sound cards on
     your system and writes a suitable configuration file for ALSA. It will  try
     to  guess	what GNU/Linux distribution you're running, and will act accord-
     ingly to the standards of that distribution, if specific support is  avail-
     able.

     Alsaconf  will write a module-init-tools (or modutils) snippet which can be
     then used by module-init-tools (or modutils) to load the correct parameters
     for your sound card.

OPTIONS
     Alsaconf accepts the following options:

     -c, --config file
	    Specify the module config file.  As  default,  alsaconf  probes  the
	    available config file automatically.

     -d, --devmode mode
	    Set the device mode for the ALSA devices (default = 0666).	This op-
	    tion is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

     -g, --gid gid
	    Set  the gid for the ALSA devices (default = 0).  This option is ob-
	    solete in the recent ALSA version.

     -h, --help
	    Displays this help text.

     -L, --log file
	    Logging on the given file.	The log is appended to the  file.   This
	    option is for debugging purpose only.

     -l, --legacy
	    Check only for legacy non-isapnp cards.

     -m, --modinfo
	    Read module descriptions instead of reading a card database.

     -P, --listprobe
	    List the supported legacy card modules.

     -p, --probe card-name
	    Probe a legacy non-isapnp card and print module options.

     -r, --strict
	    Set  strict device mode (equiv. with -g 17 -d 0660).  This option is
	    obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

     -s, --sound-wav-file
	    Use the specified wav file as a test sound.

     -u, --uid uid
	    Set the uid for the ALSA devices (default = 0).  This option is  ob-
	    solete in the recent ALSA version.

DEBIAN SPECIFIC
     In  Debian, the default gid of the device files is 29 (corresponding to the
     audio group) and the default device mode is 0660.
