Hi Peter, The hdsp only supports non-interleaved mode on all available channels. Most consumer-audio alsa apps do not deal with this properly, but alsa-lib does perfectly, you just have to access the device through the plug layer (plughw:X where X is the card number of your hdsp). Note that the hdsp driver does not export standard mixer controls (it would make no sense due to the matrix mixer), so you won't be able to control the volume with the xmms volume slider. Use hdspmixer instead (in the alsa-tools package).
