alsa-tools includes card-specific tools for various soundcards,
including firmware loaders for pcmcia and USB devices.

This package includes the firmware as well as the loaders (so there's
no need for a separate alsa-firmware package like Debian has).

This build includes udev rules for the Tascam US-122, US-224, and US-428
USB audio interfaces (which replace the old hotplug scripts shipped
with the alsa-tools source). Also included is the SlackBuild author's
"tascam-us122-HOWTO" document (see /usr/doc/alsa-tools-$VERSION).

Included tools:

ac3dec - simple AC3 stream decoder
as10k1 - assembler for the emu10k1 DSP chip present in Creative soundcards
cspctl - Sound Blaster 16 ASP/CSP control program
dl10k1 - loads dumps previously created with lo10k1 & ld10k1

envy24control - Control tool for Envy24 (ice1712) based soundcards
extract_ac3 - extract AC3 streams from VOB files
hdspconf - GUI to control the Hammerfall HDSP Alsa Settings

One of the tools (qlo10k1) uses Qt3. If you need this tool, install qt3,
and pass QT3=yes in the environment for alsa-tools.SlackBuild.

This requires fltk.
