One good example is Delta1010. If you want to have all the 10 channels divided to devices; 4 analog stereo pairs + s/pdif. M-Audio's Win driver does the same thing. Currently OSS can provide meaningful mapping out-of-box. Of course you can still access the whole bunch at once if you like. ALSA just presents 12 input channels and 10 output channels. In this setup it's a bit hard to get XMMS to play to S/PDIF (the last 2 channels). Took me some time to figure this out as this was not documented, not at least at that time (2-3 years ago). I still don't know how to map that S/PDIF output to ALSA's OSS emulation /dev/dsp9 where I have it on native OSS. -- Jussi Laako <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
