Configuring Rivendell to work with ALSA

From Rivendell Wiki

The complete details of how to configure ALSA to work with Rivendell are documented in the file ALSA.txt which resides in the docs/ folder of the Rivendell source tarball or in /usr/share/doc/rivendell/ALSA.txt on a system with the Rivendell package installed.

In brief summary, for Rivendell to work with alsa it requires an ALSA device with the name of "rd0". This can be configured by creating or editing the file /etc/asound.conf (or optionally .asoundrc in the home directory of the user running Rivendell) and populating it with the following contents:

pcm.rd0 {
  type hw
  card 0
}
ctl.rd0 {
  type hw
  card 0
}
