Ok now.
I have installed the Alsa kmp package 1.0.19. It is required.
I have made the appropriate entry in /etc/modprobe.d/sound for
model=6stack-dig.
I no longer have an asoundrc file anywhere.
I have proper separation of the 5.1 channels and the digital is enabled. The
microphone problem is solved and it records.
BUT
This only holds true if logging into (or out and back into) a KDE4 session. If
I log into (or out and back into) a KDE3 session then the only device I can
play sound on is "default" with paramaters of -c2 or 4 or 6 or 8 and the sound
is always stereo combined and without channel separation. In a KDE3 session if
I try to do a "speaker-test -c6 -Dsurround51 -tw" it reports and error stating
that the device cannot be accessed because it is busy. Should I restart with
rcalsasound in a KDE3 session I can restore 5.1 sound but then the desktop
crashes (desktop icons disappear and no response from left, center, or right
click of the mouse).
Any ideas why the sound devices are being initialized properly in a KDE4
session but not in a KDE3 session?
