Question: different install prefixes for libalsa and alsa-plugins?

[daravi]

Hello,

I use Conan to manage my dependencies and wanted to add a recipe for alsa-plugins. However it seems that ALSA_CONFIG_DIR can only be set to a single path: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/pull/7098#discussion_r697920460

So I was wondering if there is any other way I could have alsa and plugins installed in separate directories? (so that they can each have their own config directory)

You may control everything using the global alsa.conf file. You may eventually add your own directory using the environment variable:

diff --git a/src/conf/alsa.conf b/src/conf/alsa.conf
index e65bf2ca..1cbe0f3d 100644
