I'm trying to use all 4 input channels on a MAudio Quattro on Fedora Core 5 running on a Playstation 3 (PPC build of the kernel with some stuff stripped out). The final app will just use open() and read() to process the data directly. In that application it looks like I get 2 copies of the first 2 channels. I get Channel 0 replicated in Channel 2 with exactly the same values, and Channel 1 replicated in Channel 3. (Recording 16 bit at 44.1kHz) I followed the directions in http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/M-Audio_Quattro to setup .asoundrc. I am trying to debug using just arecord but I can't get it to do anything arecord -r 44100 -c 4 -f s16_le -D q4 -d 5 test4.wav gives me arecord: xrun:1082: read/write error, state = PREPARED Any help would be appreciated.
