<p>Imported from Wayback via edit</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== RDAlsaConfig ==<br /> <br /> The easy way to configure Rivendell to work with ALSA is to run the utility that now comes with Rivendell called &#039;&#039;&#039;rdalsaconfig&#039;&#039;&#039;. Run &#039;&#039;&#039;rdalsaconfig&#039;&#039;&#039; as the super user so that it can write the changes to the ALSA system wide configuration file /etc/asound.conf.<br /> <br /> On an Ubuntu system you would run:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;sudo rdalsaconfig&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> to run the command as the super user.<br /> <br /> == More Details ==<br /> <br /> The complete details of how to configure ALSA to work with Rivendell are documented in the file [[ALSA.txt_-_ALSA_Support_in_Rivendell | ALSA.txt]] which resides in the docs/ folder of the Rivendell source tarball or in /usr/share/doc/rivendell/ALSA.txt on a system with the Rivendell package installed.<br /> <br /> In brief summary, for Rivendell to work with alsa it requires an ALSA device with the name of &quot;rd0&quot;. This can be configured by creating or editing the file /etc/asound.conf (or optionally .asoundrc in the home directory of the user running Rivendell) and populating it with the following contents:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> pcm.rd0 {<br /> type hw<br /> card 0<br /> }<br /> ctl.rd0 {<br /> type hw<br /> card 0<br /> }<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> Note also that the user ID under which caed(8) runs (typically &amp;ldquo;rduser&amp;rdquo;) may also need to be a member of the group &amp;ldquo;audio&amp;rdquo;.<br /> <br /> == ALSA Resources ==<br /> <br /> More information can be found [[ALSA_resources | here]]<br /> <br /> {{Languages|Configuring Rivendell to work with ALSA}}<br /> </div>
