With a GTXP on an alpha. ;)
I managed to stall the codec by playing with the IEC958. I turned the
IEC958 input all the way down, unmuted it, then unmuted the IEC958
output. I was playing an mp3 at the time, and the mp3 stopped and the
codec just puts out a constant ~8khz tone. This is repeatable.
The 3D Depth seems to work now, sounds great. I don't think it worked
before... ;)
Playing 2 pcm inputs at the same time seems to work great.
Recording still seems to not work. I still get about a 1Hz ticking in
the right channel when recording (no matter what the mixer settings).
I don't see a debug setting on the modules snd-cs46xx or snd -- is this
a compile time setting? Anyway, let me know if you want me to send you
some debug output.
What is the easy way to test playing to the rear pcm channel?
Cheers,
