[linux-audio-user] RME Multiface again..

[Kevin Ernste]

My Multiface works the same way, although with the stock FC3 kernel
the meters are fine, no  -7dB levels hanging around for no good
reason.  Of course this unpatched kernel is not useful for everything
else.

On the DVD issue, I think this is just a problem with the way the
audio is being handled by these apps (no mmap, or something).  Mplayer
in particular would not work for me unless I send the audio through
the SDL plug:

mplayer -ao sdl

This works great for me for DVD's.
