Summary:                    No sound in front speakers emu10k1
Description: 
Card: SBLive! Value [CT4832]
Chip: Cirrus Logic CS4297A rev 4

When playing in surroud mode with mplayer (-af surround) or audio streams
of 4 or more channels there is no front audio just rear.

This card does only 4 channels playing since is one of the very first
models.

The bug appears in versions of mplayer from 1.0pre7try2 to CVS2005-12-15

Or you have alsa-lib >= 1.0.10rc2 and your alsa-driver is 1.0.10rc1.

Until 10.0.10rc1 it was

{
   interface PCM
   device 0
   name "EMU10K1 PCM Send Routing"
   index { @func private_pcm_subdevice }
   lock true
   optional true
   value [ 6 7 0 0 6 7 0 0 6 7 0 0 ]
}

Wich is currenlty working (from version 10.0.9), but I have compiled
driver and libs 1.0.10 from alsa's ftp and I had the same problem, that is
why I rolled back to kernel version (10.0.10rc1)and libs 10.0.9 from
alsa's ftp to, Another problem is debian version package
libasound2_1.0.10-2.deb shiping the file with the new conf "value [ 8 9 0
0 8 9 0 0 8 9 0 0 ]" so after an update it will stop working again.

I will check compilling driver 1.0.10 again from alsa's ftp and a
combination of the libs: from debian package, and compiled from alsa's
ftp.

I hope the problem is just the value in the conf file and to get it
working with the ftp driver version and debian's libs

Once I have tested it will let you know the results.

Any way which alsa's version is running the new kernel 2.6.15? this could
fix the problem.
