[pulseaudio-discuss] Help with Multiple Audio Sources and ALSA

[Johannes Schickel]

Hello,

first of all, thank you for PulseAudio. It's a wonderful project which 
works really well out-of-the-box and provides great audio quality.

My sound card features two capture devices according to ALSA. However, 
PulseAudio seems to only expose one capture device. I want PulseAudio to 
expose both devices. However, I could not make this work. I tried 
looking through the documentation but couldn't find anything which helps 
me. Is there any way I can make PulseAudio expose both capture devices 
instead of only one? Thank you.

Capture devices as reported by arecord -l:
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
     card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC1150 Analog [ALC1150 Analog]
       Subdevices: 1/1
       Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
     card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC1150 Alt Analog [ALC1150 
Alt Analog]
       Subdevices: 1/1
       Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Capture devices as reported by pacmd list-sources:
         index: 0
             name: <alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo.monitor>
                     device.string = "0"
       * index: 1
             name: <alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo>
                     device.string = "front:0"

If there is any further information you need, please let me know. I'll 
do my best to provide it. Thank you.

Best regards

Johannes
