Description Yunlong Xue 2013-03-27 05:40:35 UTC

If a system have multi soundcards/devices, such as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/sound/card0 and
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card1

And default playback and capture devices are on card0.

In this situation, both following tests will use card0 to play and record sample sound, so card1 is never tested.
v7 run --test=audio --udi=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/sound/card0
v7 run --test=audio --udi=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card1

I think we'd better set default or specify device when play and rec, such as:
"aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav -D plughw:0"
(Not sure how to us sox :P )

Comment 1 Yunlong Xue 2013-03-27 05:43:01 UTC

Or at least, print some info in log to show which device were used to play and rec.
