hmmm - this makes me think to go check if things aren't routed to multiple
places

ahh - to clarify (if I can!) - when I'm referring to channel/track 1 on
ardour, that's in ardour, of course, and then when I say it shows up at
channel 1 on the board, that's on my digital mixer - not on hdspmixer -
during the tests where hdspmixer was running, I wasn't looking at it, partly
because I'm a dolt, partly because it didn't matter to me for some reason,
and partly because I believe in my make, the part that was broken was
metering, so I'm not sure I would've been able to see the signal (this is
something that I just remembered upon waking up this morning)

of course, I also did a bunch of testing with hdspmixer not running

huh.  duh. I didn't think of that.  I assumed I had no copy of hdspmixer
before I downloaded your 1.3 tarball.  perhaps 1.3 never did install, and I
had 1.1, and that's what I'm running.  thanks :)  (remember I had unclean
making going on when I was compiling and installing)

firmware rev 65 - I'll go get an lspci later to confirm

*nod*  ok this is good info - thanks :)  I'll be back atcha with a report in
a while...
