As I understand it: instead of providing one device with 5.1 capabilities provide one device with 3 concurrent stereo users. Reading the datasheet of my AC'97 decoder (a cheap ALC650 connected to an ATIIXP) there is hard- ware that supports this[1]. Sure, Alsa can do all of this and more in software - somehow ... Ciao, ET. [1] Unless the ATIIXP has some limitations - there are no docs available :-( - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
