Summary:                    Front / rear out of sync
Description: 
When using the config specified below the sound gets out of sync (front and
rear sound) in xmms. The higher cpu-usage is the faster the sound goes
out-of-sync. When using mplayer in combo with this config, cpu usage goes
up, and the image of the movie halts but sound keeps playing. Without this
config the cpu-usage is around 20%. Tested on P4 2.8GHz.  
In alsa <1.0  the front and rear sound was duplicated, is it possible to
reimplement that behaviour again?

pcm.ch40dup {
        type route
        slave.pcm surround40
        slave.channels 4
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.1 1
        ttable.0.2 1
        ttable.1.3 1
}

I have this chipset according to "lspci"
Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear
SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01)
And i am pretty sure 0.90rc3 (not the only one though) duplicated the
sound, so front and rear were exactly the same. In the windows-driver
(atleast 3 years back, havent checked lately) this was also an option. 
And yes, it was automatically enabled.

It's true i tried alsa driver version 0.9.0b10 (in debian stable) and the
signal is duplicated. From witch version this feature was disabled? I
don't want to test every version to find it!
