Actually, my HDSP 9652 does this with OSS emulation, which causes me headaches It's the biggest reason why I now use the on-board Via sound chip for OSS and don't even set up OSS for the RME anymore. In my case, with 3 ADAT outputs, if the RME sends 2 channels to all 26 outputs, I get CD audio going back to Pro Tools and over to GigaStudio when I don't need it. Sometimes I'm routing Pro Tools audio through the HDSP to a D/A, and at the same time streaming Linux audio elsewhere. I don't want it all getting mixed together in strange ways. ;-) That said, if there was a standard, and if that standard was followed, and if it was clearly communicated how to change the operation on my machine away from the standard due to my hook up needs, then I wouldn't have a problem with what ever the standard was. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
