If I remember correctly (switched from OSS to ALSA two years ago), the PCI 128 has two DACs and one ADC. Both DACs are mixed together with no possibilitie to change the levels, and both together become the "PCM" channel. The first ADC and the DAC are "dsp0", the second "DAC" is "dsp1". > 2) Why aren't /dev/dsp2 and /dev/dsp3 available for use ?
