As I understand it: instead of providing one device with 5.1 capabilities
provide one device with 3 concurrent stereo users. Reading the datasheet
of my AC'97 decoder (a cheap ALC650 connected to an ATIIXP) there is hard-
ware that supports this[1].

Sure, Alsa can do all of this and more in software - somehow ...

Ciao, ET.

[1] Unless the ATIIXP has some limitations - there are no docs
available :-(
