purchased a couple of systems in the past year which appeared (from

I had problems with broken spdif output, lack of hardware mixer etc.
VIA makes the only onboard chipset that supports hardware mixing. All
HDA intel stuff has no hardware mixing.
I'm not sure if there are any devices that support hardware mixing via
SPDIF.
(Lack of hardware mixer is a hardware limitation not an ALSA bug)
