How to add sound devices

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

Hello,

i use kodi with a usb sound card and alsa on my rpi2 with a debian dinux (xbian).

i works well but in Kodi i can ony choose between 2 sound-devices from the usb-soundcard:
ALSA:USB default
ALSA:USB surround21

but my alsa or my usb-soudnkart have a lot more:

Code:
xbian@RPi2 ~ $ aplay -L
null
   Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
upmix_20to51

also i´ve created with alsa a virtual device (upmix_20to51) with a low-pass filter for the sub.out of my usb-soundcard witch i would like to use it.

so is it possible to add more of my devices to Kodi?
