Get general information about a PCM device

Synopsis:

#include <sys/asoundlib.h>

                  snd_pcm_info_t *info );

Arguments:

handle
The handle for the PCM device, which you must have opened by calling snd_pcm_open_name(), snd_pcm_open(), or snd_pcm_open_preferred().
info
A pointer to a snd_pcm_info_t structure in which snd_ctl_pcm_info() stores the information.
