AFAIK this really depends on hardware. Above screenshot is from my laptop (Centrino 2, Intel HDA on Connexant chip), I once saw this dialog on computer with EMU10K card. The list was bigger than screen and there were various combinations. So, if the card supports simultanous output to SPDIF and analog, there will be two ink available. This is how I undestand profiles :) Another funny thing, my laptop has only analog jack for headphones. Somehow chipset capabilities (or non existand dock capabilities) are exposed, not the physical outputs. -- Tomasz Torcz "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station xmpp: zdzichubg at chrome.pl wagon filled with backup tapes." -- Jim Gray
