Hehehe... Ariff and I talked about something like this just one or two
weeks ago. :-)

I didn't read your patch, but your description sounds as if an
application can only change the volume of the vchan then. Right (no
generic mixer API to change whatever vchan the user wants)?

Did you looked at the "nearly version 4" of OSS? They have an extended
API which - according to an answer of dev at 4front in the Windows Vista
sound-system forum - can do something like changing whatever channel
you want (at least I interpreted the answer like this).

Did you ported some of the recent changes to DFly? Anything else we
could get from DFly (some PCI ID's we're missing or whatever)?

Bye,
Alexander.
