//( { file_desc: "Cross platform audio device interface." kw:[audio rt] }
//
// This interface provides data declarations for platform dependent 
// audio I/O functions. The implementation for the functions are
// in platform specific modules. See cmAudioPortOsx.c and cmAudioPortAlsa.c.
//
// ALSA Notes:  
// Assign capture device to line or mic input:
// amixer -c 0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Input Source',index=0 Mic
// amixer -c 0 cset iface=MIXER,name='Input Source',index=0 Line
//
// -c 0                            select the first card
// -iface=MIXER                    the cset is targetting the MIXER component
// -name='Input Source',index=0    the control to set is the first 'Input Source'
// Note that the 'Capture' control sets the input gain.
//
// See alsamixer for a GUI to accomplish the same thing.
