I guess it's a problem  of the ALSA layer inside  the program.  XMMS +
ALSA Output Plugin for example, doesn't play  well with ice1712 cards,
because (as Fernando kindly explained me  while I was standing puzzled
in front of a non-working AGNULA/DeMuDi 1.0 installation at Resonances
:)  it doesn't consider that  such  chipsets have  10  channels (if  I
remember  correctly) and you   need to initialize  all of  them and/or
dispatch samples in a "proper" way.

Isn't anything  on the alsa.opensrc.org page  Free pointed at?  Again,
if  there is  something  already there,  we are more   than willing to
include it into our next AGNULA releases.
