We have a radio station. We use ALSA to bring in a balanced, stereo audio signal to ICES. Unfortunately, that stereo signal is reduced to mono. That is what we are broadcasting. We can't figure out for the life of us what is happening, so I have been digging around the various software components to determine the problem. Right now, things seem to be pointing to alsaplayer. I do not know it well enough to be sure, however. Is there a way to tell ALSA not to do that? Thanks for helping, Lee. -Chris P.S.
