Re: [Alsa-user] Help on specifying 'chmap' in asound.conf

For that matter, which ALSA source files do the parsing ? From my 
old/distant memories, ALSA is silent about mistakes made by user when 
the user provides various configuration files. So, there must be a way 
to resolve the issue of silent ignoring of user mistakes.

A possible temporary solution would be to "trace" (e.g. by inserting 
diagnostic print statements) parsing of provided by user configuration 
files, and to implement this one has to know where to insert the 
diagnostic print statements, and that's why I'm asking the question.
