OK, then this change itself is fine. But there is no volume control
for surrounds and CLFE, so always loudest outputs?
As a simple workaround, one can set bit 0x4000 to register 0x76
(AD_MISC), so that the master volume controls surrounds, too.
Of course, creating corresponding volume controls would be an option,
but then it'll be annoying if the machine driver supports only two
channels.
Or am I missing anything else?
