Playing just stereo files directly to hw:0 > doesn't work without conversions.) I did not test an 6-channel soundfile; couldn't find some quickly but catch it up in near future. But new issues are: 1. I hear erratic "clicking" noises. Maybe they depend on my performance? I've heard about higher cpu-load in connection with USB-Sound? I tested it with bzip... pitty, but the frequency of the clicks does not really interfere. 2. OSS is still muted. But xine does recognize the oss(dsp?)-device. e.g. I can start applications, which had striked before, but unique silent.
