As I said in my last email I tested with two AVI files, both had audio
(although in one only the music and sound effects were audible does not
happen in any other media player).  In alsamixer all my channels are enabled
except for my HDMI, using the open source Radeon driver it doesn't work
anyways, and the volume on all channels is up all the way.
