My Multiface works the same way, although with the stock FC3 kernel the meters are fine, no -7dB levels hanging around for no good reason. Of course this unpatched kernel is not useful for everything else. On the DVD issue, I think this is just a problem with the way the audio is being handled by these apps (no mmap, or something). Mplayer in particular would not work for me unless I send the audio through the SDL plug: mplayer -ao sdl This works great for me for DVD's.
