At the backdrop of a difficult national situation, we don't have sufficient
institutions nearby from which to learn reading the man pages and the
Linux command line system. Man is like a jigsaw puzzle, without
example codes, written by aspergers afflicted.
I have found a book, The Linux Command Line A Complete Introduction,
2nd Ed, William E. Shotts Jr. Problem is that without a teacher, I
don't know where to begin. So I am reading from the beginning.

I have told you that I have no qualms in removing it, if everything it
does could be done from the command line with alsa. In fact, removed
it. But alsa is so limited to terminal. Man page. Complex codelines.
Setting up duplex playback-recording simultaneously is a real pain
with man pages.

All information that you want of the card are on these threads:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=149074, the alsa-user list:
https://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg33005.html
and the debian-user list:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/03/thrd2.html#00669
If desired, i could copy outputs to the Google Drive link.

Exactly where to begin from, and where to look at, any inputs?
Best.
