NAME lynxtwo - OSS driver for LynxTWO family of
professional audio devices.DESCRIPTION Open Sound System driver for LynxTWO /
Lynx AES16 family of professional audio controllers. The LynxTWO driver is
based on the same "HAL" code used by the Windows and Mac drivers.
For that reason the functionality is practically identical with them. However
the interface (API) to applications is 100 % pure OSS so practically all OSS
compatible applications will work with the driver.FURTHER DOCUMENTATION Please
consult the User 's Guide for Windows/MacOS for more info about this device
and it' s control panel.Most of this information is valid for OSS too. USAGE
Just like in Windows / Mac there are 8 playback device files and 8 recording
device files available to the applications.To find out the actual device
numbering you need to take a look at the printout produced by "ossinfo
-a" command. The routings between these rcording and playback
devices are handled by the on board mixer.Due to size of the mixer there are
three OSS mixer devices.You can change the mixer / control panel settings
using the ossxmix program included in the OSS package. The actual device
numbering will be different if you have some other audio devices in your
system.However by defaut you can access the mixers with:ossxmix - d0 (Adapter
window) ossxmix - d1 (Record / Play window) ossxmix - d2 (Outputs window)
Please refer to the LynxTwo Installation and Users Guide (shipped with the
card) for more information about the mixer windows.There may be some
differences between the Windows / Mac driver and OSS but mostly the
information given in this guide is valid for OSS too. OPTIONS None LIMITATIONS
The following features are missing from this LynxTWO driver version.Some of
them will be automatically implemented in near future.Some of them will be
implemented only if somebody needs them.o The LStream 2 port is not
supported.o The C and D inputs of the output mixer channels are not
supported.o The LTC generator / detector is not supported.o Digital output
status bits are not changeable.o The ossxmix mixer screen require at least
1200 x1600 display resolution to fit on the screen. It 's possible to use
smaller screen resolutions but all controls will not fit on the screen at the
same time.
