Re: XMMS/ALSA - how to get mono output?
Hi,
Add the following to your /.asoundrc (or /etc/asound.conf for system
wide changes).
pcm.mono {
type plug
slave {
pcm default
channels 1
}
route_policy average
}
This defines a new virtual alsa device called "mono". In xmms
you have to configure the ALSA driver to use the "mono" device too.
test with aplay -D mono file.wav
Further instructions (but cryptic, although) are at:
