yellowdog 6.1 volume control

[edepot]

In order to get the volume control in gnome working with yellowdog 6.1, you need to create a file called PS3.conf and save it to /etc/alsa/cards/PS3.conf and /usr/share/alsa/cards/PS3.conf with the following contents in both files:

# Alsa configuration for PS3
# 08.04.09
# Place in your system's alsa cards directory:
# /etc/alsa/cards/PS3.conf
# /usr/share/alsa/cards/PS3.conf
#

<confdir:pcm/front.conf>

PS3.pcm.front.0 {
@args [ CARD ]
@args.CARD {
type string
}
type softvol
slave.pcm {
type hw
card $CARD
device 0
}
control {
name "PCM Playback Volume"
card $CARD
}
}

# Default to dmix + softvol

PS3.pcm.default {
@args [ CARD ]
@args.CARD {
type string
}
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type softvol
slave.pcm {
@func concat
strings [ "dmix:CARD=" $CARD ",FORMAT=S16" ]
}
control {
name "PCM Playback Volume"
card $CARD
}
}
}
}
