Oh, I see now. Thank you very much for explaining that. Now, when I do put in an option into the modules.conf specifying a different dxs mode, am I still supposed to get the same message in my syslog about picking trying dxs=1 or 4 or does that message show up only when no options have been successfully parsed? I am asking this since even when I am 100% sure that my syntax is/was ok I would still get the message no matter what option was specified in modules.conf. I tried hacking via82xx.c file where I would hardwire my vendor/card ID into the list of known cards and changing it that way and the card worked the same no matter which options I chose, so I decided to leave it at DXS_ENABLE (or 1 if I am not mistaken). This is the only way how I would disable that message from appearing in syslog. What kind of difference am I supposed to notice by changing dxs in order to figure out the best option anyhow? As it is right now I can play 4 simultaneous streams and they all sound ok (no apparent glitches etc.). But this is the case no matter which option I pick. > BTW, i assume that are you using 2.4 kernel. is it right? No, I am working with 2.6.3 and 2.6.5 (both patched). Finally, I've observed one extremely interesting phenomenon. I did notice that when compiling preemptive versions of these kernels that I get tons of xruns even when using aplay talking directly to hw:0. I literally need at least buffer of 512 for aplay to play ok. I also noticed that certain applications (i.e. frozen-bubble) would play stuff a bit faster than they ought to be played (although I am not sure whether this is linked to a particular alsa driver version or the preempt stuff). With preemptive flag disabled, everything seems to be ok.
