@DocDyna: I agree w/ Uomiarz, at least you did not give up. I would test a DVD and a 48 kHz wav if I were you, if yoiu haven't already. If I'm not mistaken you use a Creative X-Fi soundcard? That one (like most Creative soundcards) does not support 44.1 kHz passtru. So yhat's one thing you can unfortunately forget about. But on the positive side: in almost all cases upsampling to 48 kHz is not that big a deal: your Amp will not complain or output static. Only DTS-CD's (read: DTS wavs @44 kHz) need bit perfect 44 kHz passtru.
Anyway, good luck in using multi channel output. And good luck in using Windows and Xbmc. And keep on booting into Ubuntu every once in a while! There are a lot of excellent Linux help forums on the 'net (I'm active in the 'Buntu one every once in a while). Learned everything I know from them. So there's no probs in getting answers to questions. And... you're a seasoned Linux user now because you've compiled software from source code. And multimedia software no less! It'd be a real waste for the community to lose such a user!
Bye and thanks for the nice discussions.
P.S. About that X-Fi: I read here that it's supported in Alsa 1.0.21 and up. Only Ubuntu 10.04 has an alsa version higher than 1.0.21. See Distrowatch.
P.S.2 Then, if you installed Ubuntu 9.10 to hdd your audio card won't work... And Xbmc Live is also based on Ubuntu 9.10. Sorry that it took me so long to realise this...
