I have the problem that analog PCM center_lfe Output 
(and therefore also surround51 is not working on SBLive5.1.
While playback works on surround40, I can't send sound
to the center channel and get a message from libasound:

        ALSA lib setup.c:343:(snd_config_get_ctl_elem_value) bad value index

As far as I understood I need to set 
the combined Analog/Digital Output Jack 
to analog output, which I did using 

        amixer sset 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack' on
        Simple mixer control 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack',0
          Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
          Playback channels: Mono
          Mono: Playback [on] 

I could not find means for further debugging,
so I'd like to know where to look from here on.

System is Debian, gcc2.95.4, ALSA CVS from 02/26/2002
just before 0.9.0beta12 and yesterdays CVS, as well 
as some earlier CVS Versions in the past weeks.

Any Ideas ?
Yours,
Steffen
