I use the ALSA that's in the kernel 2.6.8-rc4 : 1.0.4

I have an SBlive, and in /udev/snd :

controlC0 hwC0D0 hwC0D2 midiC0D0 midiC0D1 midiC0D2 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1c
pcmC0D2c pcmC0D3p seq timer

Is it right that it should be pcmC0D3p ?

Do you know an option to test this with mplayer/xine also ?

Thank you very much,
