RemyJ:
Seems to be working well with pulse.  Thanks.

Somewhere along the way Pause doesn't work anymore.

I don't think it has ever really worked right.

It's near the top of our list.

Not very user-friendly, compared to the other list options, though certainly more detailed.  What I think might confuse people is....

...shows the same device (CARD=SB,DEV=0) for the "formats" it supports.  So, what would be the difference in selecting surround71:CARD=SB,DEV=0 vs. surround51:CARD=SB,DEV=0 from a device playback standpoint to MC?

Seems like distinct devices works better....

--- Code: ---mike@linux-30ty:~/bin/lib> aplay -l

--- End code ---

Edit:
Also, I'm getting a hard crash when going to devices.  Click options/audio/devices, ok or cancel out, then start playback, then go back into options/audio/devices *crash*
From the console...
--- Code: ---pure virtual method called
terminate called without an active exception

--- End code ---

bob:
More recent ALSA docs say not to use the card enumeration method.
It prevents the use of pulse (if you have it) and userland audio drivers like bluetooth.
I'm thinking we need to open the devices in multichannel mode if that's what we want to use. Now I'm for sure not the expert here on that.

Thanks for the feedback, still feeling our way through this.
