Poking around in /etc and looking at the alsa config files, there are
all kinds of 'options' (for lack of a better word) front/back/ front
right / back left ...all kinds of arrangements of sound cards and
speaker setups. Just how do you get to configure this? Is there a gui
for that purpose? I have two sound cards that I wish to use in a
surround setup, do you have any information on this? Thanx, Ric
