(i don't know which, perhaps a 1/1 mapping from playback channels to physical output channels. i depends on the preset you choose in the hdspmixer application) you can always set the matrix mixer gain values with the amixer ... cest numid=5 ... commands shown on the alsa-project website about the hdsp module (linke above). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
