second sound card amarok - how to select.

[W Eryk Wolski]

Dear Amarok users,

I have a second usb soundcard which I would like to us with Amarok
instead of the primary output.

I spend quite a while for searching the web for "second sound card
amarok" and related keywords but without much success except of
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/extragear-multimedia/amarok/amarok.pdf
where on page 71 I found, exactly what I am asking for:

I have a second soundcard and I'm using ALSA. How do I make Amarok use it
instead of the default?
In Settings!Configure Amarok!Engine, check the 'Device' checkbox
and fill in the device. Typical this is 'hw:0' for the default soundcard, and
'hw:1' for the second soundcard.

However in my configure dialog there is NO checkbock "Device" (Amarok 1.4.2).


I use ALSA and the primary soundcard is called hw:0,0 the secondary
hw:0,1 and both are working (as I was easily able to find out as a
complete linux newbee using xmms).

Now I would like to know how to switch the soundcards using amarok....

Actually, what would be really cool is to be able to use both
soundcards in parallel using amarok. If you have 2 soundcards you can
click with the right mouse button on the song and in the popdown menu
choose play with hw:0 or hw:1. Or is this already possible with some
amarok plug in.

Sorry if this question has been already asked on this list but I did
not find a way to search the mail archaives.

Regards.
Eryk
