NOTE: I've renamed the ttable transformation profile for reducing front left
and front right channels to myHDMIX within my asounrc file.
A little more testing shows two channel stereo mixes using the transformation
table as expected, and I do hear the reduced front left and front right
channels when setting the values to other decimal values such as 0.1 to 0.9.
And, this problem of treating 0.9 (or any decimal value below 1.0) as 0 occurs
when playing back PCM 5.1 wav streams and not two channel stereo streams!
The below execution definitely displays output of both front left and front
right channels being completely omitted from playback when using any decimal
value within ttable. Setting the channels to 1 or even "1.0", the channel(s)
can obviously be heard. Also, ALSA is apparently properly storing the proper
decimal (ie. 0.9 or 1.0) value within it's variables.
