```shell print ES8316 hw name 
~# aplay -L | grep rockchipes8316c -m1
hw:CARD=rockchipes8316c,DEV=0

~# arecord -L | grep rockchipes8316c -m1
hw:CARD=rockchipes8316c,DEV=0
```

===== Alsa audio device HW index =====

```shell print ES8316 hw index
~# arecord -l | grep es8316-codec -A2
card 3: rockchipes8316c [rockchip,es8316-codec], device 0: fe470000.i2s-ES8316 HiFi ES8316 HiFi-0 [fe470000.i2s-ES8316 HiFi ES8316 HiFi-0]
