Good point, but to be honest I'd rather have out of phase stereo
compared to the mono sound I have at the moment ;-)

In this case it won't be a problem because it's the same physical card -
card #0 is "hw:0,0" and card #1 is "hw:0,0" with the card doing hardware
mixing to get the stereo signal.

Unfortunately it all seems fine until I try the "type multi" definition,
upon which all I get is silence :-(

Adam.
