Description:

The snd_switch_t structure describes the switches for a mixer. You can fill this structure by calling snd_ctl_mixer_switch_read().

The members include:

iface
The audio interface associated with the switch.
device
The device number associated with the switch.
channel
Currently only set to 0.
name
The text name of the switch.
type
The kind of switch. The following types are supported:
Type Union member Description
SND_SW_TYPE_BOOLEAN enable A simple on and off switch
SND_SW_TYPE_BYTE byte An 8-bit value constrained between a minimum and maximum setting
SND_SW_TYPE_DWORD dword A 32-bit value constrained between a minimum and maximum setting
SND_SW_TYPE_LIST list A 32-bit value selected from a list of values. The items_cnt argument is the number of valid items in the array.
SND_SW_TYPE_MULTI_SEL_LIST multi_selection_list A multiselection list switch; see below.
SND_SW_TYPE_ROUTING_LIST routing_list A routing list switch; see below.
SND_SW_TYPE_STRING_11 string_11 An array of string selections with a maximum length of 11 bytes. The strings_cnt argument is the number of valid strings in the array. The selection argument is the index of the selected string.
SND_SW_TYPE_WORD word A 16-bit value constrained between a minimum and maximum setting
subtype
The switch's subtype. The following types are supported:
SND_SW_SUBTYPE_DEC
Display the value in decimal notation.
SND_SW_SUBTYPE_HEXA
Display the value in hexadecimal notation.

SND_SW_TYPE_ROUTING_LIST and SND_SW_TYPE_MULTI_SEL_LIST are similar:
