[PlanetCCRMA] stream

[Juan Reyes]

On the bash shell and using  the asoundrc file in the Alsa website I use 
the following command:

SNDLIB_ALSA_DEVICE="q4" sndplay test4ch.snd

I guess you can use the same command straight  with snd.

The Quattro should output four discrete channels and MIDI as well through 
USB.

Make  sure you have the ~/.asoundrc in your home directory.
