      Emmanuel Milou authored
      Not implemented yet: ringtones, dtmf
      
      #### Recommended play devices names (alsa-project.org)
      #### http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/DeviceNames
      Device: #default --> capture : too much noise
      		     playback : glitchs
      		     dmix
      	#plug:front  -->  playback almost perfect
      		         capture :bad audio (noise noise noise !!!)
       		         dmix not enabled
       	#plug:rear  -->  doesn't exist on my sound card (Error: unknown PCM device)
      	#plug:center_lfe --> idem
      	#plug:side  --> idem
      
      If there is multiple sound cards on your system, you can select the one you prefer like that:
        plug:front:0 select the card 0, 0 refers to the number in /proc/asound/cards.
        plug:front:Intel with the name of the card
      My /proc/asound/cards:
      0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                            HDA Intel at 0xfdff4000 irq 23
      
      ##### Device names not recommmended (alsa-project.org)
      These devices maps directly to the driver devices and doesn't handle an abstraction
      	plughw -->  playback almost perfect
      		    capture : noise plus weird behaviour
                          dmix not enabled
              hw  -->     playback : not audible ( maybe no resampling ?? no format conversion ??)
      		    capture : XRUN mode
      	            dmix not enabled
