   * Periods/Buffer 3   * Periods/Buffer 3
  
 +===== Debian (9 sept 2013) =====
 +  * Realtime does not have to be compiled anymore into the kernel: it is already by default. I know at least on "Debian 7.1 //Wheezy// amd64" & latest UbuntuStudio, perhaps more.
 +  * On Debian the location of the config file is **/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf**
 +  * Further config files are located at **~/.asoundrc** (userwide) and **/etc/asound.conf** (systemwide). Note that ~/.asoundrc works out as /home/CURRENTUSERNAME/.asoundrc so be aware that using ~ while being root (or su in a terminal) works out as /home/root/.asoundrc, which might not be what you want.
 +  * The 'index=' setting seems to not work properly, and give errors during boot about //card not ready for slot// or something ( I will try to reproduce later). The solution is to not use the line with 'index=', but instead use '**options snd slots=snd-hda-intel**'. This will put snd-hda-intel in slot 0. If you have more cards, like me, you can sum them all up, 'options snd slots=snd-ca0106,snd-hda-intel' will assign my SB Audigy (ca0106) to slot 0, and my motherboard audio (hda-intel) to slot 1. You can also keep slot 0 'open', and only assign slot 1: 'options snd slots=,snd-hda-intel' will put the hda-intel in slot 1, keeping slot 0 open for any takers. Note the comma.
 +  * The '**nice**' option is not needed, it is commented out on my setup.
 +  * Example of /etc/asound.conf that will capture sound from device 0 on 'CA0106', and playbacks sound to device 1 on 'Intel':
 +  Use '**aplay -l**' to list all playback devices, and '**arecord -l**' to list all capture devices. Results are like '//card 1: **Intel** [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital]// ', where the part made bold is the name used. Case sensitive.
