The card matters because some devices handle this mixing themselves, and it would be inefficient for ALSA to do it also in software. So ALSA needs to know which cards lack hardware mixing support. This was enabled for most cards in 1.0.9 but the ICE1712 and ICE1724 were overlooked. Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
