The audio driver is normally only capable of the formats that the hardware device supports. That's one of the concepts of WDM audio. All format conversion is done by Kmixer. If e.g. a hardware only supports stereo operation, it is normally not possible to allocate a mono stream to that driver. > The solution obviously is to always open all channels and > stream silence to the ones not in use - but I think this > is a waste of bandwidth/performance... AFAIR that's what KMixer does with those cards.
