Do I understand correctly that the card internally resamples the sound to a different rate using the zero-order-hold method? If so, I'd rather not see this feature at all unless the "i_want_horrible_sound" parameter is passed, because software can do it better, and some program will surely default to using this hardware misfeature. OTOH, Wine is doing this for ages and nobody except me complains (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14717) -- Alexander E.
