I recently installed a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 in machine running Mandriva 2006.

All, including MIDI, runs just fine. But, it appears that I can only listen to 
a single stream at one time.

I _think_ that it has something to do with the setup of either the 
/etc/asound.state or the .asoundrc files.
I have copied/pasted some .asoundrc examples from this mailing list, but find 
no difference at all.

My alsa version is 1.0.9b.

The modules loaded are:
bob$ /sbin/lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_midi            6752  0

soundcore               7008  3 snd

Maybe I don't understand this ... corrections welcome ... but should programs 
not open there own, new, channels to the sound card using the card's multiple 
PCM channels as needed? I have run envy24control, but mutting/unmutting the 
different PCM 1-8 has no effect, other than turning on/off the digital mixer 
display ... but the output doesn't seem to be effected.

Oh, just checked and neither esd or arts is running.

Either something is wrong here or I am totally misunderstanding all this :)

Thanks!
