[Ekiga-list] call recording / ekiga too tightly on ALSA?

[Mario Rossi]

Hi

I was looking into alsa to find a place where to get the list of pcm devices

1) "aplay -l" gives you the list of hardware devices

2) "aplay -L" gives you the list of pcm devices
It achieves this by "snd_config_search(..., "pcm", ...) (btw, as I
read in the bug report
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355658)

The problem using snd_config_search() is that the list it returns you
is very long and many pcm.devices need parameters.

Wouldn't it be easier to do something like suggested in
