It is already being worked on - for example the 5.1 upmix plugin and the a52 (software AC3 encoding) plugin in ALSA 1.0.11. The next step is whether and how to enable it by default. I think one of the biggest problems with ALSA is there is no API to enumerate the available devices. As a result no ALSA app has a reasonable device selection menu - it's all free form entry, and there's no good user documentation on ALSA device naming. qjackctl is the best there is and it is only able to enumerate hw devices. We also need software volume control per PCM stream (like the emu10k1 does in hardware). Lee ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
