ICE1712 has no hardware mixing, so this is the expected behavior with that ALSA version. Upgrade to a recent ALSA and software mixing (dmix) will be automatically enabled for this card, but you'll have better results just using JACK. Lee - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Applications shouldn't use hw:0,0 anyway, it only supports one app playing at a time, and will fail if the sample rate and format don't exactly match the device's capabilities. The correct solution is for apps to use the ALSA device "default", and for a userspace application (like gnome-sound-properties) to change the "default" device when sound cards are plugged or unplugged or when the user requests it. There's no way to have apps that are playing audio when the device changes to seamlessly switch to the other device though. Lee - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

This is an incorrect use of the ALSA API by STK (It doesn't help that
ALSA has no good device enumeration API). It should allow you to choose
plughw:* devices, but it only lists hw:* devices. This means that only
sample rates supported by the hardware can be chosen.

You just need to patch STK to allow plughw devices to be used, or give
up and run at 48Khz. There's no other solution.

Please make sure to file bug reports against any application that relies on a fixed device order. Also, it's not necessary to manage the default card via module parameters. Look at gnome-sound-properties, which sets the default card by changing the definition in the user's ALSA config file.

Does the receiver indicate an AC3 signal rather than standard PCM? IIRC AC3 passthrough might not work on nvidia chipsets due to a proprietary hardware implementation, but it might have changed.

Is AC3 the DVD > standard (I didn't think so...)? I'm not really a home theater expert, but the DVD standard is AC3 which is also known as DD. DTS is an older, less common format. So you should be able to play DVDs in surround. I'm not sure why the other file didn't work. It looks like mplayer tried and failed to guess the file type? I *think* that if AC3 passthrough works then DTS must work - it's just a matter of setting a non-audio bit on the stream. Lee - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Sorry, I didn't realize that ac3dec supports passthrough with the -C

I'm afraid that is a hardware problem and there's no software solution.

I don't think this has anythign to do with why OSS apps sound good and ALSA ones don't. Maybe the app is not setting a big enough buffer. Lee - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Cannot be done easily. The two cards will consume data at different rates as their clocks will not be synced. You could set up 2 instances of JACK, run one for each card and connect them with netjack or jack_diplomat, but that will only allow you to run JACK-aware apps.

PulseAudio should use the ALSA device "default" (not "dmix" or "hw:0"). It's a bug if Pulse defaults to hw:0. Something must be blocking the soundcard.

If the app does not allow sound card selection, it should obey the "default" device defined in the ALSA config. If you use Gnome, System->Preferences->Sound and select the desired device in the "Default sound card" control. If you use KDE, I think you have to ask the KDE developers to implement this functionality. If the app is unaffected by the default sound card selection, please file a bug against that application.

Are you referring to the line in playback control (F3 in alsamixer) or the line in capture control (F4 in alsamixer)? Line in playback control should affect the volume delivered to the output of the soundcard; line in capture should affect the volume of the signal delivered to the computer.
