It is close to the metal. Itmight be informative to run it and see what values alsa thinks your card has. And youcould run the script below to extract the sound information of your machine. It scans your machine andgives a link to a website with the information. You can look at it or post the link hereso people can see your setup. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.It's the best place to buy or sell services forjust about anything Open Source.http://sourceforge.net/services/buy/index.php_______________________________________________Alsa-user mailing listAlsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
