Summary: Center channel and 32-bit emulation broken when
upgrading alsa-lib from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9 on nForce 4 system
Description:
I'm running AMD64 gentoo on an nforce4 system, audio is nVidia CK804 with
ALC850. I can emerge the newest alsa-driver package (1.0.9b), but when I
upgrade alsa-lib to 1.0.9, three things happen. First, my 32 bit sound
applications, like mplayer32, don't work with alsa anymore. Second, the
center channel on all 5.1 sound goes out. Third, the a/v synchonization
on mplayer gets hosed using alsa (oss emulation still ok.)

The change was made to fix some other bug.

Details here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/alsa/alsa-lib/src/conf/cards/NFORCE.conf?rev=1.9&view=log

What you are asking is that each change be fully regression tested with
every single piece of hardware on the market. We are not Microsoft, we
don't have those kinds of resources.

Try reverting the last three changes one at a time and see which causes
the problem. Or try the patch I posted to #1206.
