22 So, I don't know...
23 I have alsa in the kernel (2.6.16.7 it's alsa-1.0.11) and it works for
24 all devices... Probably I have a bad dmix configuration (the default
25 one...)... Have you a idea how can I check the dmix configuration? I
26 remember you I can't use midi because I have a SBLive!5.1 (it worked
27 never...), but my audio system works properly...
28 Thanks, Luigi
