gst123 - select alsa device












0















I'm truing to get my audio played back by an external USB device, using the GStreamer based command line media player gst123 which comes with the option:



-a, --audio-output=<driver>[=<dev>]     Set audio output driver and device


so I'm truing to get the alsa device name of my usb soundcard with aplay -l:



**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: CX20582 Analog [CX20582 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: S6USB20 [Saffire 6USB2.0], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


while the last entry is the device I want to select as output device I try with the following command:



gst123 -a alsa S6USB20 Musik/*.mp3


or:



gst123 --audio-output=alsa=S6USB20 Musik/*.mp3


none of the above commands work. The playback is always started with the default onboard Intel card. What am I missing out?
