Pcm-config-test
From the ALSA wiki
A little program to browse the parameter space of an alsa pcm device. Grab it here:
http://www.affenbande.org/~tapas/wiki/index.php?pcm-config-test
It is useful to find out which samplerates, transport methods, etc., are supported by a device.
pcm-config-test --help
gives this little verbose help:
