I'd blame ALSA as well. :o the docs are horrible, and settings for one
card/driver dont work on another.. Its all rather annoying. If it wern't for
the doc problems I'd have looked into it along time ago, but as it is I can't
make heads or tails of the situation (having only one audio card, builtin
via82xx no midi, doesn't help matters any).
