actually, i doubt that this is the issue at all. the hdsp driver has a
module option:
snd_line_outs_monitor
(possibly changed in recent versions to just "line_outs_monitor"). if
set to a non-zero value, all other outputs will be monitored on the
headphone/line out channels. you can find out about module options
using the modinfo command. for example:
% modinfo snd-hdsp
filename: /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o
description: "RME Hammerfall DSP"
author: "Paul Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
license: "GPL"
parm: snd_index int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Index value for RME
Hammerfall DSP interface."
parm: snd_id string array (min = 1, max = 8), description "ID string for RME
Hammerfall DSP interface."
parm: snd_enable int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Enable/disable
specific Hammerfall DSP soundcards."
parm: snd_precise_ptr int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Enable precise
pointer (doesn't work reliably)."
parm: snd_line_outs_monitor int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Send all
input and playback streams to line outs by default."
parm: snd_force_firmware int array (min = 1, max = 8), description "Force a
reload of the I/O box firmware"
the parameter defaults to zero, so by default, you hear nothing.
there is no way to use any existing linux audio mixer to control
*what* you hear - the hdsp has 1542 mixer controls arranged in a
matrix, and its just not possible to make sense of this with mixers
designed around a few channels with direct routing. work is proceeding
on an equivalent to RME's TotalMix to offer ways of controlling this.
