.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBalsactl\fP is used to control advanced settings for the ALSA
soundcard drivers. It supports multiple soundcards. If your card has
\fIkill\fP notifies the daemon to do the specified operation (quit,
rescan, save_and_quit).
+\fImonitor\fP is for monitoring the events received from the given
+control device.
+
If no soundcards are specified, setup for all cards will be saved or
-loaded.
+loaded (except for \fImonitor\fP command that can handle only a single
+card; it selects the card "default" when unspecified).
.SH OPTIONS
