Thanks, that does help some. But, I fear the subdevice_count and avail are only reporting the numbers that the driver supports... not the number that the hardware itself supports. At least, I hope so, because mine is reporting as 1 & 0 (I have esd running). :-) > I also have a SB Live in another machine, the subdevices_avail is then > 32 because the SB Live can handle 32 streams at once in hardware. I can probably scrounge up a SB Live if need be... maybe I'll do that so I'm able to play multiple streams (if we can't get a better driver written, that is). > There are other applications/tools you can use, one of which is "JACK" > that allows for multiple audio streams mixed in software and lots of > other cool stuff. Cool, I'll see if I can find some information about that. I hadn't heard of it before... is it GPL'd?
