from (http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=372#sampling_48khz):

"... in the recent ALSA via82xx driver, the DXS mode is used as default
(i.e. the first pcm device hw:0,0) on the chip models which support
it.  the multi-channel mode is assigned to the secondary pcm (hw:0,1),
which corresponds to /dev/adsp in the OSS-emulation mode."

Which is what Michael stated also, just not the multi channel bit.

Ok, that would explain why we're getting differing results, keep
tweaking I guess :-(
