I didn't see where (how) could i specify the mail body when using git 
send-email, I'll look/study further so that in the future I’ll have more 
context around the pieces of code written. Maybe the git commit comment??

What works/has been tested:
- play sound
- volume controls (mute also)

Since I only have 2 speakers, I cannot say anything about its 5.1 support.
What "should" work: everything that works for Xonar DS. As far as I can 
tell, DS and DSX are the same card the only difference being PCI vs 
PCIE. The fact that it was only required such a minor change to make it 
play sounds, makes it very likely. It has been running for the last 2 
days on my PC.

The 2 structures are the same since we are talking about the same chip. 
I'll take a look in the file you've mentioned to see if there's a better 
way. I've started with the second struct since i had no idea what 
changes would be required, but yes, other than the name nothing is 
different.
