I know internally aplay uses a polled write, but yes, a good idea to try anyway; I'll see if I can do this. Have to look into aplay options to move it away from default output channels, and maybe just test 2 channels on channels 5 & 6, perhaps. >> The 1st 4 channels work OK if I use slot ID 1, but 5th and higher do >> not.

Rather hoping someone won't come up and say 'use a more recent alsa', as this definitely won't work; aplay doesn't work even on default channels. This later alsa may be a weirdo pulseaudio issue (I've tried disabling pulseaudio fully) but have yet to get to the bottom of it. Trying to get arch linux to boot, in order to avoid pulseaudio. -- Cheers, Bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
