Thanks for clarification. There was a post on a forum (can't remember where) that claimed that Envy24 supported HW mixing, but not in ALSA. So, that means that ALSA already fully supports Envy24 or not? 2008/10/28 Clemens Ladisch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Vedran Miletić wrote:

[Alsa-user] Digital (spdif) and Analog capture on AU8830

[Alsa-user] Definition of a frame

2008-10-28 Thread Bankim Bhavsar
