Hi,

my Multiface is running fine with xmms under 2.6.26-rt29. The only thing
is, that xmms only accepts the grouped outputs set in my ~/.asoundrc 

For example my multiface is hw:2, but xmms can't acces hw:2,0. So I have
to set:

pcm.hdsp {
        type hw
        card 2
        }

ctl.hdsp {
        type hw
        card 2
        }

pcm.hdsp_analog {
        type plug
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.1 1
        ttable.2.2 1
        ttable.3.3 1
        ttable.4.4 1
        ttable.5.5 1
        ttable.6.6 1
        ttable.7.7 1
        slave.pcm hdsp
        }

in my ~/.asoundrc and use `hdsp_analog` as output device in xmms.
