aplay和arecord其他参考命令
root@imx6ul7d:~# arecord | aplay
用上面的命令，你就能感知到默认情况的input delay，感觉大概半秒多钟。如果这样：
root@imx6ul7d:~# arecord --period-size 128 | aplay -B 10
就几乎感觉不到延迟。以上两种情况，区别非常明显。

alsamixer命令可以获取图形化界面，通过方向键来设置对应参数。如下所示。
root@imx6ul7d:~# alsamixer
除了图形化模式，我们还可以用命令行模式。首先查看一下contents，如下。
root@imx6ul7d:~# amixer contents
numid=124,iface=CARD,name='Headphone Jack'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
: values=on
numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Aux Volume'

: values=0
numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='Capture HPF Switch'
; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
: values=on
... ...
根据contents中的内容，可以用cget或cset读取设置参数。
查看获取某个设置项的值用amixer cget +控制参数
根据控制参数类型设置控制参数使用amixer cset +控制参数+" "+参数
以contents中的第二项为例来演示cget和cset。
读取耳机的音量为7。
root@imx6ul7d:~# amixer cget numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Aux Volume'
numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Aux Volume'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw---R--,values=2,min=0,max=7,step=0
: values=7,7
| dBscale-min=-7.00dB,step=1.00dB,mute=0
root@imx6ul7d:~#
设置耳机的音量为5。
root@imx6ul7d:~# amixer cset numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Aux Volume' 5
numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='Headphone Aux Volume'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw---R--,values=2,min=0,max=7,step=0
: values=5,5
| dBscale-min=-7.00dB,step=1.00dB,mute=0
root@imx6ul7d:~#
cget/cset命令在controls、cset cID P、cget cID亦适用。
controls show all controls for given card
contents show contents of all controls for given card
cset cID P set control contents for one control
cget cID get control contents for one control
类似的，还有另外一套sget/sset系列的命令：
scontrols show all mixer simple controls
scontents show contents of all mixer simple controls (default command)
sset sID P set contents for one mixer simple control
sget sID get contents for one mixer simple control
也是同样做法，例如用scontents查看有哪些参数可以控制：
root@imx6ul7d:~# amixer scontents
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
Capabilities: volume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: 0 - 127
Front Left: 93 [73%] [-28.00dB] Playback [on]
Front Right: 93 [73%] [-28.00dB] Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'Headphone Aux',0
Capabilities: volume
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: 0 - 7
Front Left: 7 [100%] [0.00dB]
Front Right: 7 [100%] [0.00dB]
Simple mixer control 'Headphone Mixer',0
Capabilities: pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Mono:
Front Left: Playback [off]
Front Right: Playback [off]
... ...
同理，scontents的项目用sget和sset配置。
root@imx6ul7d:~# amixer sget 'Headphone',0
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
Capabilities: volume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: 0 - 127
Front Left: 93 [73%] [-28.00dB] Playback [on]
Front Right: 93 [73%] [-28.00dB] Playback [on]
root@imx6ul7d:~#
如果想要修改对应设置，用amixer sset ，具体用法是：
amixer sset sID(控制字符串) P(支持的某个值)
其中sID，就是上面的Simple mixer control后面的那个字符串，比如’Headphone’,0
而对其设置就是，先看看其提供了哪些供你设置的值：
root@imx6ul7d:~# amixer sset 'Headphone',0 100
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
Capabilities: volume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: 0 - 127
Front Left: 100 [79%] [-21.00dB] Playback [on]
Front Right: 100 [79%] [-21.00dB] Playback [on]
