Dynamic device file minor numbers found in sound/core/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS:

• prompt: Dynamic device file minor numbers
• type: bool

If you say Y here, the minor numbers of ALSA device files in /dev/snd/ are allocated dynamically. This allows you to have more than 8 sound cards, but requires a dynamic device file system like udev.

If you are unsure about this, say N here.

Dynamic device file minor numbers (EXPERIMENTAL) found in sound/core/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS:

• prompt: Dynamic device file minor numbers (EXPERIMENTAL)
• type: bool
