So this is just the word 'default' as a name and not the card being the 'default' which does have a special meaning in Alsa lingo? ue to major changes in the studio I haven't even hooked up cables to this machine yet so maybe all sound is actually coming out of the card I want to use. I just wrote since this didn't look right. Thanks! Even though it's very minor I'll submit a bug report. It would be nice to have it use the card's name. cheers, Mark ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf
