hello,  
is it possible to find out how is alsa configured/ set up on dietpi?

I mean especially these things:  
alsa plugin type :plug: called automatic conversion plugin

I had issue with shairport-sync but once plugin plug was enabled it started to work. I want to replicate it on armbian but atm without success ☹

thanks

regarding shairport-sync. DietPi is using a self compiled version

```nohighlight
Download_Install "https://dietpi.com/downloads/binaries/$G_DISTRO_NAME/shairport-sync_$G_HW_ARCH_NAME.deb"

```

The effective ALSA config can be seen with cat /etc/asound.conf.
