EMU10K1 bug (all kernel ->2.4.0-test12pre7)

EMU10K1 bug (all kernel ->2.4.0-test12pre7)

[Gregoire Favre]

Hello,

Well maybe not on all kernel revision, but all I tested the EMU10K1 on there
(most off the time I use ALSA, which as the same bug...).

The bug is that the card as two audio output, they both deliver good sound
for playing wav or mp3, but only one of them deliver the sound that came from
the line in (same for the CD in).

I am sorry if that's not a bug and if there is an easy way to hear the sound
out of the two output (same sound out of the two output, just mirrored).

Thanks you very much,
 
	Greg

I think that depends on the player, not on the driver. The usual players only
take into account the front channels (gtcd, for example). If you use
alsaplayer to play both mp3 and CDs, the sound goes to four chans even with
CDs (but because alsaplayer is written to send the same signal to front
and rear channels).

I have been looking for a way to say to the mixer to "always mirror front
output on rear", but the mixers for emu10k are a real pain. The one that
shows all the channels, fails with the names. No one show all the features
of the chip. I even don't understand why it shows four channels in the
Main volume and 2 more for the rear.

I am thinkin of writing my own SBLive mixer for alsa, but I have found no
good description of the mixer and all the features it is supposed to have.
