I've just installed kernel 2.6.0 on my Debian Woody box, and have noticed that
with the version of ALSA that comes with the 2.6.x kernel sources, there is
only one playback stream with the VideoLogic SonicFury soundcard using the
cs46xx module.
Under kernel 2.4.x, using both ALSA 0.9.6 and 0.9.8, I was able to have 31
playback streams. Seems like a bit of a step backwards for the number of
streams to be decreased on the shiny new 2.6.x kernel. Does anyone have any
thoughts as to why this might be? I've included the cards, pcm, and version
files from the /proc/asound directory of each kernel
Regards,
Matt
