And what seems to fail here is when requesting 2 channels only (stereo), your driver says that the number of channels is not supported, probably through some type of hw params constraint. And all we try is mono, stereo, and a few surround options. We never try setting the number of channels to 12 or 16. So the main question here is if your plan is that your driver will be fixed/improved to support two channel streaming for multichannel devices? That would probably help a lot of other audio applications, not only PulseAudio. However, if this means a lot of extra trouble/work for you, we could write a special profile set file in PulseAudio for firewire devices that is more adapted to your driver. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic
