I've restested (quite extensively by now...) and have not been able to 
reproduce. I do have quit a few 931 and 933 cards, all alike physically 
but likely not all the same post the onboard amp. What MAY have happened 
is that I mistakingly grabbed another one during testing while I was 
busy switching 930, 931 and 933 cards (and kernels).

Doubt it a bit but well, I'm just not reproducing now. I do believe it 
was a 931 on which I observed the level difference; let's just conclude 
this must have been an error on my part.

Rene.
