Mopidy.conf: setting audio/output additional arguments

General
1

Here it says …

additional arguments specific to each sink. You can use the command gst-inspect-1.0 to see what output properties can be set on the sink. For example: gst-inspect-1.0 shout2send

… but how do I set these additional arguments?
Where do they go in the mopidy configuration file?
My [audio] section currently says:

[audio]
output = alsasink
mixer = alsamixer

For now I’ve just put this in /etc/asound.conf

pcm.!default {
       type hw
       card 1
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw
        card 1
}

but it surely must be configurable in mopidy.conf ?

Any input gladly received!

Got it. You can name your ALSA sound card in mopidy.conf. You also need to define it by that name in /etc/asound.conf. I’ve named my card ‘fred’.

So, in mopidy.conf:

[audio]
output = alsasink device=fred
mixer = alsamixer

In /etc/asound.conf:

pcm.fred {
        type hw
        card Extigy
}

“Extigy” is the name I see for the card I want to use when I do “aplay -l”
