Hello Raymond, I followed through on your question from the kernel bug report page here. I figure, best to leave the Kernel people alone until it is proven that it is a Kernel issue. Being that I was lost on how to apply the patch that you posted the URL for; I had to do a bit of research on how to apply this a52 patch. This is what I found on this issue with some insite on applying the patch.

Maybe due to the file not being in the location of /etc. " locate asound.conf " /usr/share/doc/libasound2-plugins/examples/asound.conf_jack /usr/share/doc/libasound2-plugins/examples/asound.conf_oss /usr/share/xbmc/system/asound.conf ---------------------------------------------------------- What is quite interesting is that 5.1 surround works under XBMC, so I am going to copy this asound.conf to /etc and see what happens. Now with the asound.conf copied to the /etc folder from the XBMC folder this has changed things a bit.
