Hi guys,

I noticed a problem on my main PC with the ALSA and OSS drivers (but not JACK). 
  On that PC I have an M-Audio Delta 6/6 PCI card (ice1712).  I can only get 
sound from the card when using JACK -- not with Alsa or OSS.

The reason is that the card requires a signed 24-bit little-endian PCM 
stream... 
but H2 only provides a signed 16-bit little-endian stream.

It's not an issue with JACK because it is fed a floating-point stream and then 
JACK converts it to whatever format the card needs (with some limitations).

I bring it up for three reasons:

   * FYI -- for future development of the ALSA and OSS drivers.

   * When helping someone troubleshoot a "I can't get any sound from Hydrogen,
     but everything else works fine with my sound card" problem -- this is
     a handy bit of information.

   * I couldn't find any mention of the issue in the docs or the
     archives.

Peace,
Gabriel
