Summary:                    SB Audigy SE Not Working with Quake 4, Doom 3
Description: 
On FC3, I have compiled and installed alsa-driver-1.0.11rc2 and
alsa-lib-1.0.11rc2 in order to be able to use a recently purchased Audigy
SE.

Regular playback is working (speaker-test and aplay both work, as does
Amarok with Alsa selected for playback). Skype playback does work, but is
horribly choppy (unusable really), unlike my other card, an old SB Live!
1024 player.

However, the Audigy SE does not work with Quake 4 and Doom 3. There is
some output, but it is just a collection of random sounds. I have tried
both stereo and 5.1 configurations. Also, output must be sent through the
plug plugin or the games complain about a sampling mismatch (48KHz found
but 44.1KHz required).

"Also, output must be sent through the plug plugin or the games complain

This is not a bug - the card can only do 48KHz in hardware.  Apps should
use the "default" device, not "hw:x,x".

There are two cards in my computer. Using the "default" device selects
card 0, not card 1 (the card I am trying to use). Also, the Q4 / Doom 3
FAQ indicate that this  should not happen any more -- I realise that this
is not necessarily an Alsa issue.
