Summary:                    PCM volume sliders are Left-Right switched for all 3
analog outputs on Audigy2 Platinum Pro ZS
Description: 
Using either the stereo PCM device (hw:0,0) or Lee Revell's multichannel
patch PCM device (hw:0,3), the volume control sliders
(gnome-volume-control) incorrectly control the L & R channels of the
soundcard's analog outputs (i.e. they are backward).

For example for the multichannel case (think 5.1 speaker setup), the PCM
Front LEFT slider controls the Stereo Output #1 RIGHT channel and vice
versa.  The PCM Surround LEFT slider controls the Stereo Output #2 RIGHT
channel and vice versa.  Finally, the PCM Center slider controls the
Stereo Output #3 RIGHT channel and the PCM LFE slider controls the Stereo
Output #3 LEFT channel....this is backwards too, the Center should be Left
and LFE Right.

Using the 2 channel stereo PCM (hw:0,0) the Front Left slider controls the
Stereo Output #1 RIGHT channel and vice versa.  The card's Stereo Output's
#2 & #3 are not available.

I just noticed that this "bug" has been assigned.  I appologize for not
closing this issue sooner, but it simply fell off my radar screen.

There is no L/R problem with this driver on my card.  The problem ended up
being my cheap-ass stereo-to-RCA cable being L/R switched!  I confirmed
this several ways, including using a multi-meter to check the cable
against other known good cables and simply using typical PC speakers.

Previously I had attributed this weird behavior to the pcm_playback
channel mapping (which I determined empirically) for this card and never
thought maybe the cable was backwards....I thought there were standards
for this!

jcdutton: please don't spend any time on this!

Sorry for the noise,
Rick
