Summary:                    Playing surround sound produces 100% CPU load
Description: 
I am using the CS46xx with a Hercules Gametheater XP 5.1 . It plays back
stereo without problems.
I wanted to use the rest of my 5.1 speaker set, so for a test I ran the
speaker-test program. Running it without parameters or with 2 or 4.0
channels works also fine. So far so good.

But when I run it with 5.0 channels or 5.1 channels the CPU load of
speaker-test goes to 100%. I'll show the output of top along with the
command lines below (for the 2.0 and 5.1 case) in the "Additional
Information" box.

>>BTW: I found one (probably unrelated) information about the rear channel
(on >>Hercules Game Theter XP7.1): The rear channels volume is regulated
by controls >>Surround.0 and PCM.1 - this is very strange, as PCM.1 is the
ONLY "index >>1"-device I found that is doing something useful.

The jacks at the back support 5.1 plus the phone jack at the front to have
8 speakers. 

Not sure it is 8 channels unless cs4624 support 8 channels.

For the bug reported in alsa-user mailing list,  

pcm.stereo41 {
       type route
       slave.pcm surround41
       slave.channels 5
       ttable.0.0 1 # 0 + 2 left channel
       ttable.0.2 1
       ttable.1.1 1 # 1 + 3 right channel
       ttable.1.3 1
       ttable.0.4 1 # 4 - subwoofer
}

AFAIK,  5 channels (surround41) is most likely not supported for most ALSA
drivers. If surround41 and surround50 is not defined in CS46xx.conf, it
usually mean unsupported(or not yet supported). Please correct me if I am
wrong
