  I read it, but it seems that you didn't unserstand that it gives just an
  example, and doesn't provide any way to find the right parameters
  for an other file.

  None of the parameters I tried worked, until I used the -Dplughw
  syntax.

  Anyway, I think useless to continue talking with somebody who
  can say that "teaching the hungry how to make food" is equivalent to
  "tell them to find themselves"

  I hope that the Education Minister will not read that, otherwise he
  could think that it is useless to pay thousands of teachers, as
  it is enough to tell the students "find yourself"
