Couple of questions might help things ... First, can I use oss audio at the same time that I use the regular snd_hda? There seems to be a large selection of mp3 players that want to assume I'm using oss, but seeing as the only way I'm currently playing dvd's (using vlc with the snd_hda only) isn't using oss, I don't want to use oss if it'll interfere with my spdif audio (that's very good now). Second, several different mp3 players want the name of a dvd and/or audio node in /dev/, however none of the documentation for snd_hda says anything at all about the nodename in /dev. Could someone supply that? OK, lastly, anyone who's using xine, and also using spdif output, what "driver" (xine's idea of what driver means) should I use, and is there any port I oughta use to get it to work? That question is for both video AND audio, but my video is actually working for xine already, so I'm really more interested in the audio side of that question. Thanks for the help.
