i tested this config, and it worked well on my system.
i heard very loud output from rear speakers...

the output from rear speaker is routed independently from ac97.
thus, for example, "Master" and "PCM" are irrelavant to the output
level of rear/center/lfe speakers.

however, the signals are usually enough high on the level of 60%.
it must not be so weak as you wrote.  i suspect something other
reasons, such like physical connection, etc.

how FPS5300 handles the cables?  are they all analog connections?

btw, cd cannot be played on the current driver from the rear
speakers, since the only pcm output is routed to surround (with the
amount of "Wave Surround").

the digital/analog swithc is one of mysterious things.
i'm not sure what and how it works.  it's not documented.
apparently this toggles the analog and digital outputs, but anyway,
audigy's digital output is still not supported on alsa, so we cannot
test it yet.

in the case of xine, it might use the 4channel pcm device explicitly,
so the routing of "wave surround" has no effect.

please don't tought these values.  they are actually used for efx
routing, and usually changed via alsa configuration file
(/usr/share/alsa/cards/EMU10k1.conf).

 
ciao,
