Thank you for your work.

I have plain Audigy2 6.1 (SB0240) and I tried using alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1.
speaker-test command from your readme worked more or less. When it worked,
channels were swapped. speaker-test tried to shout from Rear Left, but I
got sound from Center, Rear Right - LFE, Unk Left - Rear Left,
Unk Right - Rear Right (I had to patch speaker-test a bit, so it doesn't
segfault). I can't verify what channel sends sound to the "Back",
because I have no 4-pin minijack.

BTW1: this incorrect "naming" maybe a more generic problem, because if I
try to use multichannel device (plughw:0,3), i get same mis"naming".

BTW2: I wander when will ALSA support 6.1 configurations/cards correctly?

Also at some point p16v hanged, every program trying to use plughw:0,4
hangs at first poll(). modprobe -r snd-emu10k1 ; modprobe snd-emu10k1
cycle doesn't help. Later I'll try rebooting to see if it's permanent
damage or not.
